Did anybody get a response about the British Standard question from SR? They seem to have ignored my question, which is a bit odd. As I noted Kevin, given that one of the requirements of the standard is that the fuse bear the kite mark and "BS1362" the question seems somewhat redundant I don't think it's in the slightest bit odd that there's no response with respect to BS1362. The CE conformity is nothing but bollocks that they write up themselves www.cemarkingassociation.co.uk/process/#squelch-taas-tab-content-0-0 - it's a paper trail process and nothing more. |

Are you confusing CE and BS?
CE is in effect a self certification exercise - in that it is perfectly acceptable to do that. There are certification centres who will carry out the task for a fee (and bear the responsibility in the event of any claim)
BS is different and subject to testing and approval by BSI - a government body.
In the case of fuses in plugs it is a requirement of the regulations that they meet BS1362, and if they do, and have been tested, they would carry the kite mark and BS1362 on the fuse casing as a requirement of the standard.

No, I'm not confusing the two. Read my post again, and you'll see I haven't confused CE and BS. Kevin was surprised that there's no response with respect to BSI testing, and I'm not surprised at the lack of response, because the likelihood is that there's no BSI compliance - if SR did comply with BSI they'd respond by supplying it. |

Yup
I agree. But we know they don't comply because one of the requirements for compliance is that you write it on the tin!

Well now, in responce to a query emanating from an Conceited Arse Head elsewere and for the information of members here I thought that I would pen my latest considerations upon my Pre and Power fitted with the SR Blue's. With 6 hours play time on the clock, Having woken early from my usual 2 hours a night slumber I turned the system on at 7.30 am gas mark six on shuffle and left it to cook for 4 hours, cued up my usual opening track and BOOOOOOOOM ( No not that sort of Boom  ) The sound wave and sound stage nearly blew my head off LOl, hugely impressive macro and micro detail with amazing inflection and phrasing clearer than ever during my usual suite of demo tracks, the best rendition of several of them that I have ever heard before. |

Let's try not to bring baggage from other forums into here, I can guess at who you mean but we really couldn't care less.
I'm not sure you can attribute a BOOOOOOOOOM to an SR fuse but it's great that you're getting so much from your system. I can honestly say that mine has reached a new high but it's all subtle with a reduction in harshness and improvement in soundstage, reality and vividness. No BOOM for me but I am very happy with the improvement made and I will, in time, be replacing the internal fuses in my Pass and Belles components.

In haven't even looked inside my kit to see what (if any) internal fuses are there. From what TheMoon says, I will benefit most from looking there first. For anyone wanting to try SR fuses, the 13a Blacks seem to be popping up again and again on EBay for £65. I've even seen one for £50. That's not a lot of money for any sort of improvement.

I would normally ignore such an irrelevant irritant Mike, however I rather take exception to being accused of being involved in a "shill" " and of "being paid" for my personal opinion!. Mike For the Booooooom I would look to your internal power rail 20mm's  |

Now with 18 hours on the clock a slight hard edge to upper transients at high SPL is mellowing steadily and very nicely
