Yesterday my second Synergistic Research Black fuse has been delivered, this one was destined for the Paul Hynes PSU. I was anxious it might blow like the HiFi Tuning Supreme 3 fuse that was in it before, although I've upped the rating to 5A. Before powering it on I decided to power it on using the P3 Power Plant (hoping it would limit the current inrush a bit) and without any equipment connected. Fortunately it didn't blow or else it would have been an expensive experiment.
Immediately out of the box it sounded great. It didn't in the P3 which initially sounded strident/harsh. This subsided during the recommended burn in period. Again I am 'gob smacked' and speechless, even more so 24 hours later. I don't know what they're doing or if it's black magic that's in them but boy do they work..highly recommended. They're relatively expensive but I don't know any bigger bang for the buck! In a few days burn in should be complete, can't wait to hear how it'll develop further.
If the fuses in the Devialet weren't SMD's and thus non user replaceable they would have already been swapped. There's only two fuses in my stereo system and these are now both SR Blacks. Although there's one in my JL Audio sub as well but it's internal so don't know yet if I'll replace that. I might though!
Edit; the Lessloss PC's have been sold last Saturday as planned.
