My fuse religion status is: skeptic.
LolThere was a guy called Blue58
Who tried to write limericks in a caffeinated state
He thought hard and long
But got it all wrong
For limericks go 8-8-9-9-8
Highstream, improvements are improvements. And some things are superior. Had I not heard the Revopods straight after the Gais, I surely would have bought the Gaias.
You forgot to mention the 27k hours of burn-in required the properly assess the new fuseSR is highly adept at marketing. All companies requires a continuous roll out of new products in order to grow, and who better than audiophiles to take advantage of due to our continual cravings for the next great thing? My guess however, is that you can take any of their current fuses, take them to McDonald's, have Ronald McDonald bless them, and call it a new model. I seriously doubt any new model would be significantly different in a meaningful way from their current line. You're better off taking a magic marker and put a new color on your fuses and voilà, you too now have a new model! Please excuse my skepticism, but SR is the poster child for these sorts of marketing ploys. As they say, YMMV.
We are in this hobby for pleasure and IMHO there is no pleasure at all in being skeptical in the high-end.

So what is the benefit of these tubes? Is it a night and day experience? So it sounds like I have to wait 500 hours for them to sound their best? Some styluses do not last that long.
