Synergistic Red Fuse ...

I don’t know how it works but works it does! What almost every reviewer says about whatever tweak or device he’s reviewing. I find it a little bit hard to believe that none of the aftermarket fuse manufacturers provide any explanation for how their product works. We already know for example that wire directionality is part of it. Anyone wish to take a stab at other things aftermarket fuses do better than stock fuses? Thimk, thimk!

Oregonpapa, how many hours would you guess you put on the fuses before you felt they were broken in?

Jarafreeman,

I know what you My front end has a total of 14 fuses!

Fortunately, Unfortunately they are chip fuses so there is no way 14 Black fuses will ever need to be considered.

On a whim, i have tried connection the transformer output bypassing the fuse and nasty steel pin connectors!

Ah yes, smoother, deeper music flowed from my speakers, a gain in purity, clarity more extended bass and more relaxed highs. What i observed was that the shift for the better also lacked a tiny bit of midbass attack, a focus to the instruments but with  less smear in the staging. This lead to a very relaxed session, staging seems less deep due to the lessen smearing which give an illusion of sightly more ambiance and staging width and depth on certain recordings.

I have since reverted to original going through the nasty steel connections and fuses. Was the player voiced with these parts?

I know i have loss some purity, but felt it the way it was somehow connected with me.

I have come to a stage were i would reject more improvements in the incessant desire to improve .

I have used like 20 furutech fuses early (even before Hifi tuning, Synergistic fuses came around) and change maybe half to Synergistic SR 20 and now with a number of Reds.

With the many others, Hifi-tuning (never liked any of their sonic characteristics. Including another platinum plated fuse with pure silver fuse element,  which, again didn't care for the sonic traits of that material.

What has come out of this exercise is that is that each fuse has a different sonic character. Just like cables, adding a particular brand in imparts its own sonic attributes (a "straight" wire? It just does'nt exist in the Hifi world, there is always a better mousetrap! Everyone seems oto want to build the best Trap nowadays.

These tuned fuses impart more than a direct connection and we "buy" into a particular sonic characteristic, whether it is the best is questionable and hope to best synergise what may be the "best".

There are just too many permutations and different brands of fuses that May lead to a higher level of enlightenment in the way we listen to our systems.

It may be just the flavour that one may prefer from a particular band, including fuses.

I've got about 100 hrs on the black fuse I put in my Lampizator L4 dac and the level of realism is uncanny. I don't know how, why, or what. I'm just along for the ride...

To me, the Red's do not impart a flavor, although there could be a tilt or a bump somewhere in there. Their illusive quality of value is a sense that a choke point has been opened and a fog dispersed. There's a sense of moving into the room that the music is originating from.
