I suspect the answer is that the red and black each sold well, the later at $120 each. So if they believe the blue are much better (and they spent some more R&D dollars to make them) they think that that is what the market will support. The SR fuses are usually sold with a money back guarantee so there is no real risk to try.

Can anyone tell me what SE blue fuses I need to upgrade an ARC reference 5SE and an ARC reference phono 2?
Thanks |

Has anyone actually tried the Synergistic Research fuses in their ARC Ref 5se or other ARC Ref gear? What kind of a difference did it make and was it a worthwhile upgrade for the price?

JDandy,
After reading your 19 page thread I was inspired to look at my equipment. I didn't see a spot for a fuse anywhere. My MC8207 has a breaker button, my MX122 and OPPO players have nothing. |

I have tried the SR blue fuses on my DAC (TotalDAC d1-12) and amplifiers (VAC 450 Statement monos) with great success. The return on investment was well worth it in my case. YMMV

After checking that the 30-day trial was available in the UK, I have ordered 3 to test in my amps and DAC. Dealer has no stock, so may be some time, but will try and report back my findings.

Of course, in the UK we have fused mains plugs, so that gives even more scope to spend high! I do wonder if the same applies as with wiring looms. All cables the same type from same manufacturer is said to be the best. Now all fuses?

Fuses
I have tried all three. Reds were a mild increase upgrade, Blacks were much more so, Blues not so much. I would recommend the Blacks as the improvement quickly noticeable. Better sound stage and clarity, tighter bass.

Arc fuse
You need the 5 amp Slo-blo 32mms fuse for each. They are directional!!!
