The Blue delivered a significant upgrade over the Black in my Spectral preamp. Here’s how I summed things up for friends back in January a few days after making the swap:
“The improvement in clarity has been something to behold. More of everything is coming forth with greater naturalness. More low level details can be heard along with improved image palpability. Staging is better fleshed our as well.” |

While I did not have an SR Black or Red fuse for comparison, I will say that the SR Blue fuse made a huge difference in both my DCS Rossini Player and Rossini Clock. Everything that others have said regarding naturalness and ease of flow is accurate. The SR Blue fuses took what the DCS pieces did well before and expanded upon those strengths in a significant way. Highly recommend auditioning them.

Blue Fuse
Yes, have them in my CD, Pass monos 260.8. Made a smoothness difference in the CD, opened up and smooth the amps. VERY satisfied and a firm believer.

I just got 2 @ $130.00 each, not much off but it all helps.. installed in my ARC pieces and replaced the BLACK fuses!

Late to the game but last Friday I received my Synergistic Quantum Blue fuse. I only ordered the main fuse to see what changes it would bring (or not) for my Yamaha CA-1000... And changes it brought. Compared to my Audio Link fuses (local brand in Qc similar to HiFi Tuning) which affected to tonality of the amplifier and made it more lean sounding, the blue fuse did not change the tonality of the CA-1000 at all. It still is a sweet and warm sounding amplifier. There is an increase in bass weight and instruments are even more life like. I could also perceive a decrease in noise during silent passages. There is more fullness to the music reminding me of my past Mc setup. I noticed also that the highs are more natural, a bit less strident. Essentially, it does not remove anything of the good from the amplifier, but only add up some even better qualities. Those fuses are not cheap though. Now the question is do I go full swing and change all the 7 remaining fuses with the Blue? Humm..

I am contemplating at changing the fuses in my Bryston BDA-3 DAC and Bryston BDP-2 digital player. I wonder which one I should start with for better performance?

So if DCS regard this as a serious issue I'd guess they should modify their units pretty much overnight. Owners of DCS kit should alert DCS to this misdesign feature without delay. |

DCS engineers would need to find a measurable improvement in some aspect of the device’s performance to justify the recurring cost increase of using a specially designed fuse. That, and manufacturing/logistics would also have to find a reliable volume supply of these devices, preferably from more than one vendor. Quality assurance would have to define and run the appropriate incoming inspection process to ensure that the devices met specifications and were uniform over different lots, vendors, and time.
This is what engineering companies do. The same could be said for vacuum tubes - why doesn’t McIntosh use Gold Lion re-issues when customer preference for these valves is universally positive?
