After installing the SR Master Fuse in my Rega Aethos amp, the elevated and increased sound staging became immediately noticeable. Now, I am getting SQ improvement more akin to an amp upgrade of at least a few thousand dollars more. With that in mind, the increased air in musical recordings along with stronger dynamics were literally unbelievable. I consider the SR Master Fuse to be one of the most valuable additions to my audio system.

I know someone (with standard plug and fuse etc) who used to polish the metal of the fuse and the connections inside the plug and then solder the fuse in, polish the external plugs (three pin), he was very proud of his shiny plugs. he also would put a direct spur in for his hifi. His system always sounded fantastic, all of the attention to detail and effort that he put into setting his system up could be heard.Especially the transients. I'm remember him saying "ever seen a plug this shiny." This was in the 80's early 90's, so I get this about the fuse.

Or doesn't blow when a short developes in the power transformer and a house fire results. Fuses are safety devices. How many of these audiophile fuses have traceable certifications by recognized and authorized testing labs? And furthermore cryo treating OEM fuses voids any existing certification. Any modification like that requires re-testing and certification. I just don't get why some think putting a non certified safety device in a listed product is OK?

Why aren't they used in the receivers at NASA/JPL where they recieve extremely weak signals from space probes outside our solar system. If there was ever an application for reduced electrical noise, that's surely one of them. Ditto this for audiophile power cords as well. I work with this level of test gear.

Hi all As a retired electrical contractor I’m going to step out of my comfort zone , but this whole issue could be negated by not including fuse protection at all in the supply to a hifi system . If we assume that the fuse protection is say 13 amps , this could could be averted by a direct supply via a 6 /10 amp RCBO from the main distribution board . A Means of isolation could be provided via a main switch or rotary isolator . This in essence would resemble a cooker supply but on a lower amperage level , so basically eliminating the need for local fuse protection . The main advantage of such a system is it could be a radial supply direct from the main distribution board , a large cable size so increasing conductivity . And at this point I would suggest it should be kept away from other supply cables as is practical to achieve total RF isolation . And yes this is my present system , does it make a difference well I must confess I’m not sure . Could be my hearing is just not good enough to differentiate , but ha for me the process was child’s play .
@sandyrussell8213 Жыл бұрын
I think a dedicated spur to your stuff is a better investment as it really reduces noise. Get rid of the microwave. If you disconnect everything in your home, your hifi sounds much better, try it, especially if all of your neighbours do the same and vacate their homes. And we move to the country, but not near farms with milking parlours or feed processing equipment.

From a thin glass tube with 230volt that passing through a very thin bit of fuse wire causes a huge amount heat, vibration 50hz and resistance compared to a Synergistic fuse which has a thick ceramic body, a fuse wire of better qaulity which is then packed between the casing with a sand like substance which deals with heat transfer and vibtrations. Simple but smart. I never believed in fuse snake oil until i tried them. That's half the problem with sceptics, they think they know it all but have never tried. Learn by doing is my motto.

Hmmm,well. A bone of contention amongst believers and non believers. Am I allowed to sit inbetween on this one?. While I feel that there can be elements such as damping properties and termination at each end,with a quality piece of wire inbetween,which would potentially lessen the resistance a little (tiny amount),i wouldn't go beyond clean contacts and possibly silver plated end caps. Fuses that provide that can be had for a far more reasonable cost and ensure fair signal transmission. The resistance to current is largely determined by the value of the fuse anyway,so we're talking small level here. I have played with "high end fuses" and won't lose any sleep over using what I believe to be a more sensible middle ground. By all means go a little beyond bog standard,but upgradeitis needn't apply for fuses. I know others will feel strongly polarised i.e. "they do nothing",or "they're incredible" or whatever. My own feelings are that they're akin to pumping up a car tyre which is a little low on pressure. Let real electronic engineering within the components do the talking .Some of these brands do some funny things like magic dots as acoustic treatment. None of which are qualified by verifiable measurements ,only belief. If someone tries a fuse or whatever and believes things are better,it's not for me to worry about even though I personally feel somewhat cynical about some of the unproven claims having been made.

@@oliverbeard7912 You're missing the point. That's why you do the blind tests in the first place. You can only use science to prove or disprove objective variables. Is there a difference, yes or no? That's it. Anything beyond that is personal preference. Is the most expensive thing on a menu always the best tasting? Will you always prefer a 50k car over one for 30k? Is red a better color than blue? How much something costs isn't an objective variable. If an item goes on sale for half off, does it preform any differently? With products like fuses, some people will hear no difference, while others will say they make the system sound worse. It would be highly unusual for everyone to put these things in their systems and all get the same results. That would be a huge red flag. For me personally, I tend to stay away from power related products. Why? My experience has been mostly negative. More often than not, I hear a difference, but I don't like it. And that's the way it goes. One last thing. Blind testing audio equipment. Not all tests are the same. A test is only as good as the standards used by the person conducting the test. Test quality can range from silly/childish to scientific. I have yet to see any of the audio "skeptics" conduct a blind test with any integrity whatsoever. If the test results are what they want them to be, its a good test, regardless of how well it was done. Any test that yields results other than what they want to see will not be accepted, no matter how well done. Do you have to take my word for this? Absolutely not. Any time one of them brings up a test that "proves" something, ask to see it for yourself. You will not get it. The test either doesn't exist, or it was so poorly done, it would be embarrassing for them to reveal it. In over 3 decades of me asking to see a test, I have yet to see just one.

So you think that this is the best way for someone to upgrade their sound; six hundred pounds for a fuse without a decent explanation of how they're made. Just because it works does not mean it's worth it. I honestly heard a demo at a dealer years ago that I swore I heard a difference in a CD player when the dealer tore a piece of paper and put it under one of the player's feet. I couldn't wait for someone to charge a couple of hundred bucks for a sheet of magical paper, significantly better than bonded typewriter paper, you know, audiophile paper. Reminds me of all the products that came out after the original Tip Toes. Remember them? They have been manufactured out of every conceivable material since then. But are they better or just different sounding? How about if you found out it cost them two pounds to knock one of these fuses out, are you still interested? A lot of this is easy money for the manufacturers of this kind of products. Based on science, empirical data? Where is any of this data? I won't try one. What if it blows when I try it out, am I on the hook for six hundred pounds? I think of Peter Belt and his plastic clips, pennies worth of cream, 1/4" squares of wrapping paper going for exorbitant amounts after Peter did his voodoo process, whatever that was to justify the cost.

You're right, of course...it's all utter nonsense. For those of us who have the brains to KNOW that it's nonsense, it's insanely frustrating to hear "audiophiles" and their nonsense (especially for myself, a full-time audio/video engineering guy, with decades of experience), but these clueless "audiophiles" don't want to listen to logic or reason, they are in love with the mystical world of "audiophilia" . It really is like some kind of weird cult. What on EARTH could make people believe such daft stuff?! "HiFi Gurus"? It's just so weird. Seems to be a pretty common thread running through 99% of them, though...middle-age and money burning a hole in their pockets. They're pretty much always bald/thinning hair, grey, older, middle-class white guys. 🤣

Not to an "audiophile". Only expensive things sound good to them! 😂

I believe that people hear differences after fitting expensive fuses, but how much is expectation I do not know. Opportunity missed here; Phil could have asked his mate to swap the fancy fuse in and out to see if he could tell which was which blind.

At 7:24 he said that they went back and forth with the fuse. He didn't say that they did a blond test, though.
@TonyCottrell-iv2qv10 ай бұрын
Yes, I heard him say that. It's the blind bit that is crucial though. It isn't just about hearing a difference, but also about which one is 'better'@@peterborelli3877

There's NO WAY anyone could ever pass a double-blind test to tell two fuses apart. No way on Earth. It's ALL in the mind.

£600 fuse on the plug to a distribution extension with a 50p fuse on a 3 pint plug on his CD?😮

Now I am confused, to upgrade my fuse or not to upgrade my fuse, actually I refuse to believe that a fuse could make any difference to the sound of my hifi, sorry Phil, normally much enjoy your channel by the way🤓

You don't know what our missing Keith. They honestly can make a huge difference. It sound too good to be true but trust me, I've tried them and they can make a difference like changing out your interconnects for a higher grade.

I agree no brainer improvement from purple to master trust me I’m gobsmacked with the master fuse your missing out 600 yes a lot of money but it will be the cheapest improvement you will ever make

@Darokkk6 ай бұрын
well, cheap fuses are low quality and they are acting as resistor...better quality fuses dont...its simple
@1oldson6 ай бұрын
@@Darokkk so simple yes. the fuse has a certain amount of resistance and blows at a certain point. so if you change a plain old cheap 2 amp fuse with a stupidly expensive 2 amp they will have identical resistance to enable them to blow at the same point. change the resistance and you alter the fuse blow point or amp rating. SIMPLE!!!!

Yes Phil fuses do make a difference but turn the fuse round and that makes a difference sometime small sometimes big!.

It can't be a big mistake... or any mistake at all... if you can send it back and get your money refunded.
@njm1971nyc5 ай бұрын
Some people probably DO send them back. At $600 each, even if you get 95% of them returned, you're still making money for nothing! 😂 Most "audiophiles" would be too embarrassed to admit they can't actually hear a difference anyway. They'll somehow convince themselves that it *must" sound better, cos some guy on KZfaq said so.

Oh dear....You've opened a can of worms here cheshireaudio!! All the naysayers chipping in giving you stick and others making fun and posting derogatory comments of your experiences. I think they are just sad individuals and probably the same crowd that says cables don't make a difference. They need to try out these tweeks for themselves before they start shooting off their gobs hiding behind a keyboard.
@njm1971nyc5 ай бұрын
Personally, I think the "sad" ones are the gullible audiophiles. They will literally believe any old crap. It's utter nonsense. Is there even ONE video online proving that this rubbish makes a difference? A controlled, double-blind test is simple enough to perform...yet NOBODY has ever done one. That's why I think you're "sad". You probably believe in homeopathy, too.

Hmmm.... interesting stuff? But I'm curious....If I got one of these fuses and placed it in the mains plug of (1) a good multplug extension lead or (2) a power regulator .....would it actually influence and sonically improve all the compenents attached....Or do these fuses have to be put into each and every component?
