Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses

I tried $40 Furutech rhodium fuses. They definitely make a difference. Up to you if you like the sound. I should have tried the nickle or gold versions.

I can't bring myself to pay SR prices I'm afraid and I've spent $425 on an idler wheel. I've little doubt they're a good upgrade but that price... for a fuse?

@noromance  Yeah, I haven't really heard anyone talk about what's so different about them to justify the price. People say they sound better, but what's the difference in build?  Are they using different insides? 

I saw one video where someone took off the orange/white paper and discovered it's just another ceramic fuse.  Not sure how real that vid was but it's worth thinking about.

Are SR fuses just repackaged .50 cent fuses?

This is not the case this guy is wrong.

How do you know?

In the scheme of things in the Audiophile world  $159 for a sonic improvement to your system is reasonable. Remember that Synergistic Research has a satisfaction guarantee. Why would they do that if they don’t work?
