You know that old joke about "if the black box is the only part of a plane they expect to survive a crash then why don't they make planes of the same material?" Well, if these fuses contribute so much to the signal chain...  Sorry, I've been resisting that one for days but finally had to surrender to my warped sense of humour.  Jeez can you imagine building an aeroplane using some of the science on this thread. You wouldn't catch me flying in it. |

Tim perhaps you might educate us in the best way to convey in words what I/we are actually hearing Hmmm, example, if you were listening to something on a crappy speaker and struggled to understand what the song was or hear the lyrics, then played it on a decent stereo and it became crystal clear, well that's a night and day difference. Whereas being able to clearly notice a change, rather than struggling to identify it, isn't. I don't mind how people describe something, entirely up to them, just as it's up to me to ignore them if I think they're talking nonsense - they can also ignore me when I talk nonsense. But fear not, Mahooosive is a great description, I understand exactly where you're coming from. Note:I realsie not a comment regarding the fuses/sound Martin, but I was answering a direct question - I'll stay out of here in future |

I bet Mr Brook is laughing his head off. 36 pages and still going strong....
I don’t have any 13A mains plug fuses in my house, so I too will stay away from “contributing” further to this thread, which I find a bit hypocritical following the forum announcement on mains electricity, which basically says any changes need to be done by a qualified electrician (so as not to break the local laws/regulations) but go ahead and fit a fuse which should not be used in a U.K. plug (according to the same local laws/regulations).
I am really upset that I am missing out on the sound improvement that this plug fuse obviously makes, but I have a raft of internal fuses I could change at £130 a pop - at least 6. That buys an awful lot of vinyl and that is where I would put my money.

WC....With the 30 day manufactures return policy it would potentially cost you Zip to try one in your Phono or Pre No ?

For me, the first part is a real safety concern: putting in a radial circuit is not something that anyone should undertake without knowing absolutely what they are doing. Putting a non-BS fuse into a plug gives me no such cause for safety concerns. |

In France I am allowed to fit my own radial circuits. I have no hang up about this subject as I have no requirement for BS fuses. My daily work involves working with safety for others in mind (clearing aircraft for flight etc.) so it annoys me to see safety regulations flaunted without the usual warnings and disclaimers like the ones used before. Also, knowing that a 13A fuse does not normally blow at 13A makes me wonder what these 13A fuses do in a failure situation. Typical BS fuse failuresStill, it is your personal choice to ignore the regulations, but it should not be promoted here and should be made quite clear it is not strictly legal in the U.K. and people fit these entirely at their own risk. As far as I can see, there is no legal issue with the internal equipment fuses. The legal aspects about if these plug fuses should be sold in the U.K. is a different matter entirely. |

Your link does not work. I am assuming that the topic you wish to link to is based on an American forum which does not use 13A plug fuses? |

An US hosted forum however several respondents, not only US citizens, you are correct in that the majority of comment does refer to chassis power rail fuses rather than 13 amp mains which I thought pertinent to your EU set-up, I shall attemp a re-link.
alternativly simply Google, SR black fuse , Hit # 5 together with links to other threads on the same site.

Here is the link forum.audiogon.com/discussions/synergistic-research-black-fueseAnd from it amongst many : 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! |

Thank you Dave, on the move attempting this via a clapped out iPhone 4s in central London is a nightmare!

Cables, Racks, feet, etc.etc. Is it ever thus in such matters WC, however do note that this is yet another respondant that has NOT physically assessed the product in person, ergo an entirely worthless point of view let alone reference.

So there's BS fuses and there's B.S. fuses....

Sorry scotty38, I got the sense of your question wrong. By all means, discussion of experiences is fine! |
