Better audio, fuse changed

ROSE Products RS250
#1

Dear Friends.

I want to share with you the following experience.
I have replaced the original factory Fuse of my RS250A with
a Purple T3.15A 250V fuse from Synergistic Research.

The change with respect to the sound is really substantial and
Everything sounds better, the audio scene is very real and bright.
I’m not an engineer, far from it…I have no way to explain it, just
I can tell you, there really is a change.

I don’t want to stop thanking people from this community
of users who very kindly and with excellent predisposition
They have helped and guided me through the steps.

Please, comments from opinionologists and audio geniuses,
they are received from Monday to Friday, from 12 AM to 2:30 PM

Hello,

I am very interested in this fuze upgrade info.
I have the first Gen RS-250.

Will this same fuze work in RS-250? What company or Amazon maybe has it and what are specific size etc. should it be?

Hi Rayray57!

You can buy the Fuse at this link.

For the RS250A the fuse to buy is: T 3.15A 250V

I understand that the fuse to be replaced should be the same one used by the RS250A; In any case, I suggest that you consult with the people at Hifi Rose, what type of fuse your unit uses.

Good luck and keep going with everything!

I had the SR Pruple fuse in my 150B and loved the improvements in sq across the board. Then they came out with the Master fuse and I just had to try it. It’s another level past the Purple -took weeks to burn in but there is definitely a WOW factor to these fuse upgrades. Amazing!

It gets even bigger when you change all fuses to purple. I had an opportunity to test QSA fuses last summer and purple was best to my taste. Red too superficial. NOTE: QSA and Synergistic fuses conflict strongly to Stein Harmonisers… If you want a bit smoother ”analogue” sound HiFiTunings golden fuses are much cheaper. Im currently testing Custom Sonic Line fuses and DAMN they are great. The idea is that you tell your gear to them and they make it as artesan for your set. They are in fact better than QSAs and much much cheaper. https://www.customsonicline.com/

I just got in touch with a local dealer here in Anaheim CA and they also have the new Pink fuze which is supposedly replacing the Purple fuze. It sells for $249.00 USD. I plan to go and pick it up today. I am excited to try it and will surely report back.

Also Rose confirmed that the fuze requirements are the same for both RS 250/250A.

Hello Scottyfree, wich Purple fuse did you use ?, the T3.0AL/250V ?

grtz… Frank

Please no one buy into this absolute nonsense. The fuse plays absolutely no role in the quality of the audio in this unit or any unit. It is there for protection only. Please don’t believe into what people think they hear what they change the fuse out. It only sound better because they want it to sound better. Nothing in the audio stream can possibly be changed. Apologies to people who have already bought it and think there’s a difference, there’s not.

I totally agree with this answer. More expensive better sound !!! The brain can do miracle…

Please explain how others are testifying that they note a difference in their sound. Have you tested them or went to an audio store where they can demonstrate the fuzes and the difference from one to another?

I am not trying to be argumentative, rather just trying to make sense of what you are saying and if there is data to back both claims either way.

One thing I note is that the fuzes are directional and that would imply that there is some connection in the sonic process despite what you say.

Help us all understand your rationale and data to substantiate the claim.

Hello again,

I actually went direct to the Synergistic Research lab/factory and picked up the Master fuze.

I want to ask you how you noticed the difference and also given that the fuze is directional, if not placed correctly the first time what did you notice?

I have it installed now in RS-250 and I am not sure I can tell difference yet. Maybe my ears are not good enough to notice difference.

How long before you can tell
Anything or is it right away?

I am trying to reason with the $650 purchase!

Dear friends, it is good to see the interest in the topic of fuses; All opinions and points of view are respectable and in my experience, yes, I have noticed a change in the audio.

Greetings to all.

People are “hearing” a difference because they believe there should be a difference, expect to hear a difference, and really, really, want there to be a difference (because otherwise they would have to admit that they have wasted several hundred dollars on something that can’t possibly work; and that their ears are not quite as golden as they want to believe). Psychology makes it very easy for there to be some perceived difference.

In reality (i.e. if you do not know that the fuse is in there) no one has ever been able to discern an iota of a difference.

As for the fuse being “directional” :rofl: that’s just one way these crooked companies are preying on people who had slept through high school physics classes. One rather high-end (at least, more expensive than Rose) had even to publish a FAQ explaining that the fuse is not in the audio processing path, and does not have any effect. And in any case, the stupid thing is passing AC current. “A” is for alternating, it changes direction. If it really were “directional” device would not work. Luckily, the fuse itself is nothing more than a 3 cent fuse from Home Depot (or wherever they get them in bulk) with some fancy paint applied. It has neither directional nor any other sonic qualities. At best, it will actually melt at rated current and do its job. Equally possible, it will be the only thing left intact after a power surge. It’s no different from “directional” ethernet or USB cables. Just a load of meaningless gibberish that sounds impressive enough to people who do not know any better, but means nothing. If they really were directional they would not work, period.

Sorry to say, but you have not only wasted $650 on something that does squat, but you have also given that $650 to outright crooks.

It doesn’t bother me at all that I “wasted $200” to see if it changes the audio, eventually I’m left with a much better fuse than the one that comes from the factory.

You are obviously completely free to use your own money to shout to the world how you have no clue about anything electric, but alas, this fuse, in addition to not having any effect on the sound (just like any other fuse) is in no way “better” than a factory one. If you are lucky, it will melt the same. More likely it will not and let your device melt instead.

Transfer me 200 :moneybag: dollars​:moneybag: and I’ll tell you that your rose sounds better.
It’s all just voodoo and if there is an improvement, our ears can’t hear it.

Account details follow in the appendix.:wink:

The beautiful Cash​:moneybag::moneybag::moneybag:. I could cry because of so much senselessness. :sleepy: :sleepy: :sleepy:

Mr. Boris,

You are entitled to your opinions if you coming across as some scientist without anything to back up what you are saying is the same thing you are touting.

You conveniently ignored my questions about demos etc. but it’s ok I really don’t care if you have or haven’t.

As for wasting money, again you assume these things and not that anyone here owes you an answer I was told by the retail owner that if it did not make a difference to me that they would gladly refund my money.

So you don’t know as much as you assume and you know what they say about assumptions.

Boris,

You clearly come off as a know it all and frankly are rude. Not sure why you are on this site. Anyone can say anything about what a person spends on their system or doesn’t. We could all say you wasted money on your system but it is not for us to say as it is not ours and to each his own.

Maybe your time would be better spent in the classroom professor! You could warn the next generation on not to spend too much money on a better system option as the return on investment is nill if we follow your logic.

So, you haven’t understood a single word I wrote. Which isn’t really surprising, and for your $650 you are more then welcome to keep convincing yourself that a fuse can make any difference. But for only $2000 I will sell you a fuse with custom paintjob. Guaranteed to vastly improve your sound, but only if you install it in the correct direction (to be determined based on your specific equipment) and the device needs to be oriented along the magnetic field lines.

30 days moneyback guarantee. Best results achieved after at least 500 hours of burn-in using music styles you are planning to listen to.
