Synergistic Red Fuse ...


I installed a SR RED Quantum fuse in my ARC REF-3 preamp a few days ago, replacing an older high end fuse. Uhh ... for a hundred bucks, this little baby is well worth the cost. There was an immediate improvement upon installation, but now that its broken in (yes, no kidding), its quite remarkable. A tightening of the focus, a more solid image, and most important of all for my tastes, a deeper appreciation for the organic sound of the instruments. Damn! ... cellos sound great! Much improved attack on pianos. More humanistic on vocals. Bowed bass goes down forever. Next move? .... I'm doing the entire system with these fuses. One at a time though just to gauge the improvement in each piece of equipment. The REF-75se comes next. I'll report the results as the progression takes place. Stay tuned ...

Any comments from anyone else who has tried these fuses?

Well everyone can rest easier now that machina dynamica geoffkait is convinced these things kick arse.   

Mopman out.

Sorry to hear about your brother. Hope he improves with treatment. 

On the Dowling lute music ... Harmoni Mundi, right? Lovely recordings to be sure.
I concur music is a salve for mental and physical wounds....feel David's worry as my mother is in intensive care in a coma....

I have been very happy with the red fuse in my amp dartzeel amplifier and playback designs CD player.

recently i put the black fuse into the playback CD player and it definitely improved soundstage further

Today I put black fuse into the amp in same direction as red fuse used to be.

isnt likely for those upgrading from red to black fuse that direction of fuse would be the same as it had been for the red?

I should add on dartzeel amp the fuse holder slots in horizontally near front of unit on the inside and need open top of unit to reach (pain in ass) and the SR fuses were loaded in red (previously) and now black fuse with the Synergistic label going in forward direction so the "S" of Synergistic is closest to front panel of unit
