Synergistic Red Fuse ...

You guys are killing me.....especially you wig, when you say;

The Red/20 are much thinner sounding and bright in comparison to the AHs which are much fuller and natural sounding...

Of course, I am looking for a little more in the "fuller and natural sounding" department.  It seems like we go through this every time someone comes out with a new fuse.

I have so many fuses in so little gear.  The stupid DAC takes dual 1A fuses on the input and then has three 250mA internal fuses, one to each power supply;  My amp has four, 10A rail fuses but nothing on the line-in; the server uses dual 2A fuses; and the preamp, although two pieces, thankfully only uses one fuse.  The three reds I tried internally in the DAC were relatively easy to absorb since I still had the stock fuses installed and Partsconnexion is still having a 25 percent sale, but unfortunately they don't sell AH fuses.  If I start replacing fuses in the other gear, I will be replacing either HiFi Tuning Silver Star or Furutech fuses, so I would be replacing perfectly good after market fuses.

To the AH fuse users, is the biggest improvement in replacing amplification fuses, or fuses in source/front end components? Sheesh...four of them in my amp would cost me about $500!  I may go back to using ProGold on the ends of my fuses, wrapping them in teflon tape, and calling it good.  My other option is to drill tiny holes in standard fuses, and fill them with beeswax.  That will save me $2,100 on the 12 fuses that I need.
Are the AH fuses really that good?  

So far, with the preamp and amp using the RED fuses ... I've experienced no "thinness" or "brightness." My audiophile friends who have heard the improvements all have come to the same conclusion that II have, namely ... a big step toward realism. 

I'm also curious about the bees wax filled fuses. At $175 per pop, I'll wait for others to report. In the meantime, I continue to reluctantly tear myself away from my system. Hey, we have to eat sometime, right?

  As far as the SR Red fuses being directional, are they all sounding better placed in the same direction or does it depend on the equipment used?  

I'd recommend to those who are using the Reds, try 1 AH fuse in its place and you'll hear the analogy I mentioned about thinness. You will also hear more texture and body especially with violins, acoustic guitars and cellos and also experiment with direction.

Probably time for a group buy for AH fuses. BTW AH reseller states this "If you are a former Audio Horizons customer or order of components upgrade, there is a 15% discount off the $115 MSRP...". Where do you get a lasting audible improvement for just one Benjamin?

In my tube DAC and my NAD amp I am happy with the sound of SR Red. 

/Wig: do you have any equipment with more than one AH fuse? 
/abuck: sometimes it is visible on the fuse holder (IME on most holders it is outside to inside where the current flows), it is easier for fuses inside the unit to see where the current is going to (just remove the fuse and use a multimeter to see where the end is that is live).
/mitch2: lucky you, I got 2 systems to feed. BTW is there any downside to wrapping them in Teflon? I do that as standard procedure. Also, when the WA chip still is sticky enough, I pass it down to the successor.
