Synergistic Research SR Orange Fuse snake oil ?

[LEO SOUND]

Interesting thread. I have this orange SR fuse in a FARAD linear power supply.
I bought it because it is recommended by FARAD directly on the site because it improves the SQ.

Is it snake oil? I do not know . I do not have the competence to really measure what it brings. My SR is in the process of burn in. For the moment no wow effect but if the experience of people helps to say that it brings an SQ. I trust them and the forums.

When it comes to measurements, hardly anyone is measuring things and we have to trust the manufacturers. Ditto with clocks that grow all over the place for the sole purpose of getting audiophiles to buy. AfterDark, for example, is surfing the demand for clocks and yet it is not clear in its offer. The products have no name except on a piece of paper and impossible to verify. Really buy the clock with the measurements indicated on a piece of paper. I do not know since it is impossible to verify ...

I have an audio Uptone JS2 too, but I don't want to change the fuse because Uptone does not recommend tweaking the JS2.

I added an SR Orange Fuse to the mains plug for my Stax 700s Energiser last Thursday.  I've never purchased an audiophile fuse over £25 before.  The immediate impact to the soundstage and placement of instruments was obvious.  It presented an almost holographic 3D image.  The overall impact was one that I wanted to keep.

 

Unfortunately, since my initial observation the sound has changed almost daily, initially losing bass and treble and soundstage (which has now returned to a certain extent - especially tonight). 

 

Based on others burn in experiences I am hopeful that things will return to something similar to my initial experience.  If that was to happen and be consistent I would consider the SR Orange to be one of the best value upgrades (price to positive impact) I have purchased.

For reference my system is

 

Innuos MK3 Mini & Innuos Linear PSU

Chord Mscaler & Sbooster PSU

Chord Hugo 2 (awaiting Paul Hynes SR4T PSU)

Stax 700s Energiser

Stax L700 Earspeakers

 

All power cables are good quality Kimber Cable based Russ Andrews.  Storm Wave BNC to Hugo 2, Toslink from Innuos to Mscaler.

 

Is there an explanation that the sound changes every day? it is confirmed in other bizarre.
