Synergistic Red Fuse ...

This thread is actually more entertaining than I previously thought…ranging from near platitudinous mysticism, to squirm worthy oddly florid quasi-paternal statements of the obvious…I'm tellin' ya…this stuff should be mined for material supporting a sort of "b team" mass psychosis or early Harvard Lampoon level esoteric parody. I any case, a wonderful thing.

One wonders if there’s any advantage to quantum tunneling say an entire transformer....hmmmmm. Or all of the internal wiring in a preamp. Maybe provide spools of quantum tunneled hook up wire.

I posted some time ago I was using my preamp. for evaluation of high end fuses. I am using a HIFI Tuning Supreme with over one full year of time on it for a starting evaluation. I now have over 125 hours on a RED fuse and must admit in my system it sounds thin and more HIFI than musical. I am going to put more time on it to see if anything changes to make sure it is not a burn in factor. Today I received my order of the AM beeswax fuse to compare. From what I have read it appealed to me to at least try from a music perspective. The point is as discussed along the way in this thread that these fuses are not a lot different from cable tests in that voicing and taste is very critical to one's final satisfaction. There has been a lot about the RED fuse here and so far I have not found its magic and if the BLACK turns out to be at an even higher point of the same then I am glad for all of the information. As in audio YMMV but do take your time and let your ears, mind, and soul do the talking.

^^^ The experience I've had with the RED fuses can be encapsulated in this:  There are NO speakers in the system. In fact ... there is NO system. The music and performers are completely detached from anything and just do their own thing in the room. And very musically so, I might add.

While the BLACK fuses have been an improvement in some areas, most notably transparency, a wider sound stage, and a lower noise floor, its like I'm listening to a stereo system and not a live event. After leaving the CD player on repeat overnight again, this is far less of an annoyance than it was the night before ... more evidence that the two fuses are still breaking in.

Its almost there ... but not quite. The CD player will be in the "repeat"  mode for another 24 hours. Stay tuned ...
