Synergistic Research ORANGE Quantum Fuse Vs Blue Fuse

waymanchen the grains in the picture seem to be some form of silicate,
fine sand…The fuse tube body seems some thicker than normal fuses.

Would be interesting to put the wire under high magnification. More
interesting to have get wire chemistry breakdown figure out where the graphene
is employed…

Have you examined this more closely?

Thanks

In which ways were the beeswax better sounding for you than the oranges…?
My oranges are are now playing over the top for me…and therefore harder
to imagine it getting better…

So I need to “hear through your ears” so to speak your perspective on this…

Thanks your thoughts are valuable…

Happy trails

I already threw it away. The body seem like thick ceramic, and if you look very close to the picture, you will see a thin filament sticking up on the broken piece. The filling looks like silicon flakes.
The Beeswax separates the images more distinctly and has more detail than the SR Orange!! I have not try the Beeswax elsewhere yet, maybe later on since it cost so much for one, but I would not go without it with the P20!!

Orange fuse ordered for my modded Oppo 203. Can’t wait to hear what it will do!

Hi Waymanchen, did you have a chance to examine what the black “snot” (sorry, I can’t think of a more appropriate description) spilling out of the tiny circle on the surface of the cylinder was? Graphene paste? Pixie booger? :laughing:

It looks like tiny pieces of magnetic particles mix with silicate particles probably for damping and eliminating EMI. My guess.

What percentage of the white cylinder’s exposed surface area did the black stuff cover? Was it just a small circle/oval, with most of it exposed, or was it more extensively spread below the shrink wrap?

It’s as you see in the picture. A white powdery substance with specks of black and brown substance that fills the inside. The thin wire looks like copper.

Thank you for posting the picture. I have long wondered what was in the specialty fuses. This provides at least some idea.

I broke open the other blown SR Orange fuse.
Here is some photos.

Too bad we can’t have the components lab analysis test done for materials
used in these fuses…

Would you have a microscope.?..If you do you could maybe get a look
at, hard to do with the wire element of the fuse and the granular material
as well…

Might could tell something about these…

Thanks waymanchen…

The white granules seem to be some form of silica.

One more thing ha ha… do the same to a beeswax fuse…
see what they have…

Very pricey though…

I just cut open a $1 large 20amp 6x30mm fuse just to see what’s inside.
Here it is. Very similar to the SR, don’t you think?

It would be great to get a microscope view of the fuse wires to see if there is any
kind of “coating” or treatment visible on the Orange fuse vs standard fuse…

Thanks again waymanchen

Like to know what makes 'em tick…

I don’t have a microscope but if you enlarge the pictures, you can see the power substances are quite different. The SR is more granular and brownish and the other more powderly white.

Thanks again…Yes I did see the difference…

Hmm . . . different pixie dust.

Wonder if dry short grain rice would work…maybe ground rice…hmmmm
