Where did you buy for 108?
They ran a special when they first introduced Orange. It was buy three for ā¦
I admit I didnāt hear much of a difference, maybe I put it in the wrong way around.
Who knows? It also might be that Iām hearing what I want to hear.

I think itās more probably I just did it wrong. I heard nice improvements with these fuses in both my BHK-Pre and P12.
UK Based here, my next round of upgrades will be to fit the SR Orange Fuses in my BHK, DS and NPC.
Have Blacks and Blues elsewhere in my system, like them a lot.
The Pre and Nuwave are easy enough, but not sure how to access the internals of the Dac?
I know thereās special screws which pop the case open, but not sure if they are available in the UK, or a dealer could supply a set?
Anyone UK based popped open their DS Dac?
How did you orient the fuse?
I just stuck it in
I think you just horrified all the fuse-ophiles.

I just had my BHK pre out to replace the plinth it sits on and flipped the SR Blue for grins. Sounds the same, exceedingly good.

Soā¦whayās your initial impressions sans burn in time?
OH BOY, another SNAKE OIL from Synergistic Research crooks! $160 for a fuse! Literally theyāre the thief of century.
I like it.
I donāt have all the superlatives that some folks have to describe it. My soundstage has not been transformed, etc.
But I like it.
Thank you ronpā¦appreciate your replyā¦wondering Orange vs Blue have you used the Quantum Blue
if you have any differences?
In fact, yes. I had a Blue fuse blow. I replaced it with an Orange and I didnāt hear a difference.
abeiklouā¦it seems most everything to you is snake oilā¦it seems some of your posts lean
in the snake oil directionā¦
Just look up graphene as a conductor, silver as a conductor which would reduce the impedance
at the power entryway to an amp or any other piece of gearā¦allowing better response.
If you purchase a muscle car and upgrade the stock upper and lower air intakes to flow more air
you would probably call it snake oil, yet regardless the engines improvemnet benefits greatly,
add then a mandrel bent set of headers and high flow exhaust now ya got some nice improvementsā¦
yet snake oil to you perhapsā¦
But not snake oil for the hot rodder that enjoys newly gained power reponsive performance levelsā¦
Chew on that for awhile
Thanks ronp appreciate your findings
Nope, I believe cables make difference, DAC that doesnāt always measure well can still sound better, and various other thing.
Synergetic Research folks are CROOKS, Iāve seen them at various shows, dealers, and have heard their FAKE demos. They play psychological games on ppl to make them think they hear a difference, worst was at last yearās Axpona. In contrast, one could clearly hear sound improvements in demos by Audioquest, and other companies.
Thatās my opinion, Iād NOT buy a product from dishonest ppl. Even if they may have some products others enjoy, you can only trust a company if theyāre honest in all cases.
Iām also into car racing, and have been tracking my cars for 15 years. Iād call something snake oil, if one claimed it add 100HP, and when I put it in, car doesnāt go any fasterā¦ itās still snake oil no matter how much they pretend itās otherwise.
Explain thisā¦ IF A FUSE can make such a big difference. I am sure PS Audio, and other companies who spend YEARS and MILLIONS researching products and how to make them sound better, could JUST do a MASS order of āorange fuseā at a discount rate of $25, add it to their products and call it a day! Why bother engineer anything? Just change the fuse! 
Geez, thereās an argument as old as the hills :^ / For one thing, they build to a price point and to add well over $100 per unit per fuse would be ludicrous. Thatās why thereās after market products, for those who like to tweak and squeeze every last bit of goodness from their components. Those that donāt care and are perfectly satisfied stock donāt have to waste their time. Everybody wins yet you still complain.
