If only there were more like you, I would recommend that you look at the power rail fuse of your most sensitive signal component, be it Phono or line pre and take it for a spin.

AM rarely answers emails outside of the US unless he has a connection to you.

There are many users of AM fuses in the UK, way before SR came along.

I trailed the blue late last year, I even use one in my system, the rest are a combination of SP's and the BW version.

For example the SR RED makes no difference at all in my personal systems, however in others it make a noticeable and repeatable difference. The Black just doesn't work at all for me, the blue better.

The blue is a nice readily available product that works for the majority of people that have tried it.

On high transparency system, the blue can get in the way a little or can tip the balance of the system a touch over the owners preference.

The Blue is about 90% of the AM standard SP, but not as flowing I feel. But still good.

Interesting comparing the SRs, Tony. The Red has a high degree of transparency but highlights everything. Too many can take a system into slight glare/harshness. The Blue in comparison has a greater level of transparency but with less harshness. I wouldn't call it warm, exactly, but more musically pleasant. I haven't tried the Black at all.

I love what the Blue is doing to my system but I still have quite a few Reds running, too.

Currently waiting in for the delivery of my 13A Blue's to arrive, I should be up and running by this afternoon.

Afternoon Brian, they are destined for the two Furutech mains wall plugs, the one powering my front end and pre the other powering my mono blocks. I would very much like to be running all Schuko back to the CU, unfortunatly it just isn't practical to install a dedicated radial into that particular room.

Rather rushed today and only managed a two hour burn in and then a handfull of my usual reference tracks this afternoon, early report....most favourable, an obvious increase in all round resolution , detail retrieval digging deeper into the recording than with the previous AR Red's, greater sence of scale yet with additional poise on larger more complex recordings, greater sence of weight and gravitas particullay with piano and the larger stringed classical instruments, nuance and inflection on vocals has evolved noticably.

At such an early stage, and only with particular tracks or passages of tracks, a slight hardening of leading edge transients and a miniscule diminished sence of air within the body of Violin Cello and Violla and Accoustic guitar, however if matters stay true to form these slight reservations ameliorate considerably with additional run time.

All in all most pleased at such an early juncture, I just wish the bloody things didn't cost what they do.

Quite true David, I feel that a degree of the reservation / Hostility toward these products is not merely based upon disbelief but also on pricing, it is a shame that such an effective product could not be produced for less RRP as I am sure this is what is holding many folk back from trying them whilst they may be prepared to take a punt on an £130 cable or Teflon capacitors or Riken resisters. That said with a manufacturers 30 day no quibble return policy I would say " Why Not Give It A Shot" this seems to be a good enough buisness model for some people elsewhere !

That unobtainium they use in those fuses doesn't grow on trees, you know, it's mined by skilled operatives in far-distant lands, then shipped by camel across the desert sands to the top-secret fuse factory, where white-coated technicians with hundreds of years of experience lovingly assemble each fuse. They add their initials to each fuse, but in letters so small they are only visible through electron microscopes. The actual cost of materials plus assembly is over £500 per fuse.
