Synergistic Research Reference RED Fuses

September 12, 2014

Robert S. Youman has posted a review of the Synergistic Research Reference RED fuses ($79-$99) at Positive Feedback. His conclusions:

” The RED fuse has a similar flavor as the Platinum. Again we have additional weight and texture yet it all seemed so much more smoother and natural with the RED. I probably would not have noticed a substantial difference without a direct comparison, but in my system the Platinum seem a little thick and heavy handed on some music. With the RED in place, this was the best my Playback Systems MPS-5 ever sounded. That typical edge and stridency on certain digital recordings was much better controlled if not gone. Overall, the sound was still superb with the Platinum, but it was no contest for my ears. The RED was easily preferred.”
