A few months back I was able to get a synergistic sr20 quantum fuse on ebay really cheap. It was less than the 500ma value for my Rega Apollo, but I used it anyway. As I was changing pc's it blew, probably because it was not the right value (200ma vs 500ma).
With it's absence I noticed the soundstage was not as open, the sense of space seemed more condensed, the highs and upper detail was not as present, and the bass was not as tuneful--all the things you would want in a tweak of this type. Now I am faced with shelling out $90 bucks for the upgraded version and that will be my next expenditure.
I had used some hi-fi tuning fuses in the past, but the SR fuse is so good I don't want to do without. Apparently there is a 30 day trial and shipping for a fuse is minimal so what have you got to lose?
I am a bit wary of getting fuses for my tube int. amp as if I lose a tube, the fuse goes with it, but if I had the money I'd replace all my fuses. I'm sold on the Synergistic. YMMV, Good luck!
