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?

I hope SR does not come out with a gold fuse next, would anyone change all their fuses again? I'm just poking fun at our hobby.

Hi Jond,
I like your taste in music (Webster and Evans) .  I did order the Tim Warfield and Chris Mcgregor  recordings you had recommended to me on my system page recently. The Black fuse will only get better with time.
Charles, 
charles1dad thanks and glad to hear you ordered them hope you enjoy. And moved onto Lester Young in DC now and so far so good. Retubed my preamp yesterday too so things just are sounding great right now.

"I hope they shed some light on the Graphene question. Geoff seems to think its used in the casing for shielding which might be fine but the vendor blurbs mention nothing about that but do cite the several million times more conductive thing."

Oh, did I mention Graphene is one atom in thickness? I hate to judge things too quickly but I'll go out on a limb and predict you won't see any Graphene wires in fuses anytime soon.
