Synergistic Research Master Fuse
“I tried and really enjoyed the increase in the performance of the master fuse, it was scary good, the spacial increase with the increase in clarity and definition, tighter and lower bass control were superb i was glued to the system.”
Martin, Ayrshire
Neodio Origine B2
“..everything is so relaxed, clear and so easy to follow the different strands within the music."
"Listening last night, I think it really takes you to have a pretty well sorted system to fully get the best from the B2's.
They are pretty much the icing on the cake.
Songs I know well revealed parts of the song that it was like listening for the first time, found myself saying never heard that section before.”
David, County Antrim
Synergistic Research FEQ Carbon + ATM Carbon
“I couldn't believe the enhancement in sound quality, that this small carbon-encased black tower was bringing to my enjoyment of music replayed through my system,
Benefits which I perceived, were around soundstage (extended and more wrap-around), detail retrieval, bass palpability and solidity/impact. For me, there was a greater ease and flow in listening to music and I found it very intoxicating (no alcohol or hallucinogens consumed during the demonstration).
I tried removing it from the listening room, but something was then lacking, which returned the instant the FEQ Carbon was reintroduced!"
Steve, Hampshire
Synergistic Research Master Fuse
“I was quite excited to try out the Master and Purple fuses, based on the forum feedback to date and the Master Fuse certainly didn't disappoint! Placed in the 13amp plug of the Coherent BD mains cable feeding power from the wall to the Alethiea PSU2 balanced mains distribution, it seemed to "supercharge" the performance of all the other SR fuses in circuit and was definitely a "wow" moment when listening to music for the first time with the Master Fuse inserted.
Detail and soundstage seem enhanced, but not at the expense of any added brightness or edginess to the sound, which was supremely relaxed and yet natural and convincing. Frequency extremes appeared extended and dynamics greatly enhanced!"
Steve, Hampshire
Neodio Origine B2
“I tried a few "left field" locations, dotted around the room and on top of my Aurender streamer/server and power amp, but found them most effective under the speaker cables and on the TAD speaker stand.
Damn, if these things don't bring something to the table as well!
The soundstage was certainly extended (working sympathetically with the Synergistic Research FEQ Carbon Acoustic Field generator) and there was an added sense of "rightness" about the sound of music, playing with the Neodio B2's in place!
I certainly preferred the music with them in the system.
So, another positive from Byron's box of "Voodoo!"
Steve, Hampshire

Optimisation Event - Shinfield
“I thought you did a brilliant job of presenting yourself and explaining and demoing the concept that is MBS.
Must say the whole process to the end result was just spectacular!”
Richard, London
Systematic
“Thank you for all your time and hospitality yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it, learnt a lot and was challenged too. I very much appreciated the systematic way in which you worked through the different categories of optimisation.”
Peter, Surrey
Very Informative
“…Upgrades and optimisation were proved to work. Well done to Byron for a great day. Would recommend this person to help you on your hi fi journey.”
Ian, Berkshire
Great Guy!
“Byron is not only a great guy but a fine experienced audiophile with some very innovative products, especially the Synergistic Research fuses, acoustic UEF Acoustic Dots and HFT's ... trust me, no snake oil going on here. Byron’s approach is very much no pressure, concentrating on the synergy of your system and what's right for you and your taste.”
Damon, Wiltshire
Fantastic service!
“Fantastic service. I learnt a lot from Byron about things that I didn’t pay much attention to before like good cables and grounding a system, and I’m glad that I listened to him as my system sounds great now! Highly recommend and wish I was aware of MBS sooner. Thanks again, Dave”
Dave, Surrey
Highly recommended!
“Over the past 11 years I have had three major system upgrades that Byron has recommended for me. Each upgrade has taken my listening experience to a level that I thought couldn’t be improved upon. When Byron told me he was setting up MBS Audio it was perfect timing as I wanted to overhaul my digital front end and I've always valued his opinion. He always explains clearly why the next step is the right one and so far he has been spot on with the Synergistic Research acoustic treatment he recommended. Without the demo I doubt I would have gone ahead and my system sounds so much better now. I highly recommend Byron and I can't wait to see what he can do to improve my system even further.”
