Synergistic Red Fuse ...

"....... The Furutechs beat the HiFi Tuning by a lot, the SR 20's beat the Furutechs by a little.  Now, I have the SR Reds installed, and they are far and away so superior to the SR 20's.."   .  And there is a new SR Black that is probably light years better then Red.   The guy just lost his mind... out of proportion.
It all depends on a system and even more on the preferences of it's owner.  Cables,  fuses and everything else.. 
hah ... far and away superior...   yea...

Oregonpapa,

Have you tried reversing the direction of the fuse before leaving it to burn in?

I would guess you have it im the correct direction given the big jump in clarity you are experiencing over the Red fuse.

I gather from your observations, that indeed, the black is more resolute sound over the Red fuse and guess you have your system pretty much dialed in.

I often encounter a tweak or hardware change which is a clear step up but somehow get nagging feelings something is not quite right.

More often than not, I "Always" have to balance the it out a bit, by maybe shifting footers or room treatment tweek, e.g HFT’s to get things to my liking in the way, flow, emotion, smoothness, grainlessness aspects click back into focus of how I "like" it.

Nowadays, I prefer that something added does give a smaller incremental difference as opposed to a larger difference as this is more likely to work and not leaving me too impressed and eventually scratching my head why I not longer can have longer listen periods, totally relaxed. sometimes it can be too much of a good thing!

Good that things are getting better with more burning. 

This is quite interesting,  it may turn out that the sr-red's are more musical than the black's,  as the old adage say's, to much of a good thing can turn into an unsatisfying sound.

If Quantum Tunneling [2,000,000 volts of electricity used to condition the fuse and end caps] is used in the manufacturing process of these fuses...how could any long term user burn-in affect break in ?

I would think with that much voltage, they would already be broken in,all things considered . I mean,that’s a lot of voltage to run through the fuse,which I believe is the reason that SR uses that technic to begin with.. i.e. to condition the components of the fuse.

Aolmrd1241,
What you wrote makes perfect sense.  However I can attest to the fact that the Red fuse does improve  with additional  hours of use, I just can't explain how  or why.   

Keith if it turns out that the Red is the more musical  and the Black is the more audiophile oriented, I'll  choose the Red. I await further impressions from Oregonpapa who I believe is on the same wavelength as me in this regard. I just prefer audio products that  induce focus on the music/emotion rather than focus on the sounday in isolation.  The Reds in my system do the former.
