    Audiophile Fuses

    Yes: I do hear an increase in warmth and an improvement in localization and depth. The Orange fuse imparts an improved tonality to my system. I felt it was worth the experiment and they are staying in the system. David Pritchard

    Audiophile Fuses

    I have not done the evaluation you suggested, but I did add one Orange fuse at a time until I had three fuses in place. First in the amplifier, then sub woofer, and lastly the DAC. I did wait about 10 days between each new fuse installation . I am still happy with the sonic improvement with...

    Audiophile Fuses

    bazelio: If I lived in a part of the US that has known bad and unreliable electrical power I would not use expensive fuses either. I would also probably bite the bullet and put in top of the line surge protectors- even though they often decrease the quality of the sound. No blown fuses -...

    Audiophile Fuses

    There certainly is a sonic difference in all three fuses that I evaluated in the Pass Lab amplifier. Each fuse was also listened to with the fuse inserted in both directions. So a total of six possible different sounds, and indeed there were six audible different sounds. In my system I prefer...

    Audiophile Fuses

    In post #757 I gave a brief but concise description of the sonic improvements using an Orange fuse in my amplifier. By improving the depth of the soundstage, I hear each individual instrument more precisely. This improves my ability to pick out each musician and their contribution to the music...

    Audiophile Fuses

    bazelio: I did directly compare the Synergistic Research Orange fuse to a brand new Bussman fuse. Same values. With the Orange fuse the Pass Labs amplifier sounde better. If you would like to send me the fuse you have listed, I am glad to also compare it to the Orange fuse. David Pritchard 2882...

    Audiophile Fuses

    With the Orange fuse I heard the following changes: The soundstage was more three dimensional. The location of each instrument was more clearly defined. The harmonics were richer and more complex. The reverberant sound of the recording location was more detailed. Lead vocals were more detailed...

    Audiophile Fuses

    I have recently compared the SR Blue fuse, SR Orange fuse, and factory stock fuse in my Pass Labs INT-60 amplifier. I am impressed with the sonic improvement using the Orange fuse. After initial installation there was an immediate difference, and then a continued change at 1 day, 3 days, and at...

    Synergistic Research HFT room treatment devices

    To be very specific, one room now has only one absorption panel in front of the fireplace located in a corner, and the other room has one absorption panel so electrical wires are not visible. These wires go to the art lights that illuminate a wonderful painting of Saint Cecelia (Patron Saint of...

    Synergistic Research HFT room treatment devices

    I do think Synergistic Research's family of HFT room treatment devices is simply outstanding. These are small but powerful acoustic resonators that are easily attached and removed in a room. They are not visually distracting. I do think they are a major improvement over the older absorption and...

    BSG Technologies QOL thingamajig..

    I have used the QOL unit in my system for 2 years. Obviously I think it is worthwile. It 's performance does respond to upgraded power cord, fuse, footers, and interconnect. It takes a week to break in. Leave it on at all times. Out of the box the sound stage will be "bigger" but with a bit of...
