Synergistic Research Black fuese

tbg:
You are absolutely correct. The Synergistic Research Black fuses really start to sound good at the 25 hour mark. But then the sound continues to expand and relax so that at the 100 to 150 hour mark you are really enjoying a higher level of emotional envolvement  with the music.

I hope to see you at the Newport Beach show June 3-5.

Who has tried the new Synergistic Research Black fuses?  How do they compare to the Reds?  If you are using the Blacks, do they live up to the hype? Thanksrnwong

I've been rolling fuses forever so replaced all 7 SR Reds with SR Blacks in one shot.  The most obvious change is a more musical and organic sound where SR Reds sounds hifi-ish in comparison. 

Everything is system dependent but SR offers a 30 days money back so no risk trying in your components.

Sounds like you rolled a Seven and came up a big winner !
I absolutely agree the Synergistic Research Black fuse can really improve a system. For me DACs, amps, SACD players, self powered sub woofers, and even a self powered sound bar have all had an improvement in  sound with a Black fuse installed.

davidpritchard, yep lucky seven :-)    Got an 8th for a SS amp rotating in for the summer soon so hoping lucky 8.

Audiophile fuses are a no brainer if your system is worth one's salt.  But if it's a pig, applying lipstick, it's still a pig so please use common sense.  If a fuse doesn't transform your $399 amp to a Pass XS300, it's expected!

These SR Black fuses have brought my system to a place far beyond where I would ever have imagined it would be. The system was no slouch before the fuse experimentation ... but now its in a completely different sphere altogether.  Vocalists and instrumentalist are in the room ... with good recordings, of course. I have tons of mono LP's and they have really come to life. Mono on the system has friends saying ... "My God, who needs stereo?"  I wish I could  have some of you over to hear Paul Desmond's alto sax on some of my mono Bruebeck albums. Wow!
