Innuos Zenith SE Fuse Upgrade


Recommended Posts

I went with a slightly-oversized 2.5 amp Synergistic Blue fuse for my Zenith Mk2 Std.  For sure it was a worthwhile upgrade that justified the price.  I’m sorry to say though that I’m drawing a blank as to exactly what improvements I heard.

I don't have a Zenith server, but based on my own SR Blue to Orange upgrade (on a 3-rail PH SR7 supplying NUC server, M-Scaler and ISORegen), plus the comments of others whose opinions I value, then best to go straight to the Orange. It is better than Blue across the board for only an incremental extra cost. I was particularly impressed that the extra detail/clarity came with a more natural/organic presentation. Great when both these characteristics happen simultaneously.

 

For me. a fuse upgrade is much like a power cord or power supply upgrade. If you know how those can sound, then you'll know what to expect.

HI All: I am thinking of upgrading the fuses in my Innuos Zenith SE. i am considering the Synergistic Orange fuses. Has anyone had experience with this fuse or others with this server? Please describe the results you experienced. Thanks all.

Dud you upgrade your fuse to the Synergistic orange?

I have yet to compare a Blue to an Orange, but the Orange are very special.  I agree wholeheartedly with what @TheAttorneywrote above - especially his remark about “more natural/organic presentation“.  Absolutely what I heard from all three of the Orange fuses I purchased.

 

There’s a Blue fuse in my Zenith Mk3 as I purchased that fuse prior to the Orange being available.
