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 think Thomas Foolery or 'little Johnny' would like to hang out with
the endless liars,about Synergistic  (crap)fuses ,on this post. Thomas would enjoy the foolery; and little Johnny would chime in with 'it shows you're thinking- idiotic thoughts--but thinking nonetheless.

Seeing it’s now fact by many having these SR mains fuses blow, that the melting point (which is the blow point) is wrongly overrated."

Huh? What’s a fact? "Many" is a relative word. How many? But more importantly, what’s the percentage that blow? How could you posiibly calculate it? We also know the stock non-audiophile fuses blow, too, you know, the Buss fuses and Littelfuses. So, what’s the difference? If things were as bad as you claim how are the aftermarket fuses companies still in business?

"It’s a wonder you and the others haven’t stated other furphy that they are Class-A fuses, therefore closer to the blow (melt) point than a standard fuses are, so they must sound better, because they run so much hotter!!"

Oh, brother! Nice try, but that actually doesn’t make sense, that they sound better because they run hotter. What does their temperature have to do with the price of spinach? Why wouldn’t fuses running much hotter actually make the sound worse?

How about if I put it in the audio book of funny things people say?

"BTW if someone puts these in as their + and - DC rail fuses, and one blows before the other, you can say goodbye to that amp if not the speakers as well."

If you say so. But I suspect the operative phrase in that statement is "if someone puts these in...." If I was 6'6' I could have been a basketball star.

Ok I'll rephrase it just for you geoffkait

"BTW should some poor sod put these in as their + and - DC rail fuses, and one blows before the other, you can say goodbye to that amp if not the speakers as well."

I like the comment by the ’gentle joker’ who has switched to Class A fuses.Not.
Probably buys regular fuses from reputable,responsible companies like BUSSMAN or LITTLEFUSE.
Hopefully anyone reading this thread looking for serious information realizes
the Synergistic Fuse = nonsense . Schills,charatans and ’snake oil’ purveyors seem to delight,sadly, in bull shite.

Your complaint might have a little more authority if you spell LITTELFUSE correctly.

You might learn how to spell LITTELFUSE correctly when trying to make your point.
Is that all you have Geoff? beside the voodoo you preach?

ptss is oh so right in saying this.
