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?

@rauliruegas Thank you for sharing your experiences. Fuses will always be a contentious subject until someone can demonstrate to those who don't believe that they do make a difference. 

One would think by now that all here are on the cutting edge. In fact, we represent mainstream thinking, at best but at least we're heading in the right direction. 😀👉

On another note, I found at another site a discussion on fuses and Lloyd Walker (the Lloyd who makes the Proscenium turntable) recommends that people try aftermarket fuses and try both directions to ensure proper rotational speed in his drive motor. The point is, one can find highly valued perspectives on both sides of this equation and point to them that they support their point of view, so it all boils down to what you hear.

All the best,

Could be that it may take a full 8wks for the paint to cure. There are climate active paints..so why not an acoustic paint.. his patent says there is...without a formula..You could mix your own if there is any basis for that type of coating. The Enabl paint patterns work on speaker fronts and with more calculation they should work on walls. Has nothing to do with P waves.  Tom
Yeah man…a paint infused with discarded lamb fuzz or recycled sponges. Basis SCHMASIS!

I think the dispersion of solids would need to be smaller and more uniform than Sponge Bob residue and harder. Sorry Bob.....Tom
