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?

The acoustic paint is being applied to panels and then the panels placed on walls. Ted Denney's Facebook page has all of the info on it.  In addition to audio applications Denney wants to use it for industrial applications to dampen noise.

What is the difference between transporting the recording venue into your listening room, or you being transported into the recording venue?

I'm getting sound out of percussion instruments that are unbelievable.

>>>>>Whoa! Hey, that exactly what C37 lacquer was used for, in addition to the other things I mentioned. Spruce panels or whatever could be painted with C37 and mounted on the wall.

Denney's goal is to go way beyond audio applications. Think of noisy bars and restaurants. Or how about small factories or hospital applications?  No limit really. Check out his Facebook page. Interesting stuff.

I’m pretty sure they already have sound absorbing panels for all those places. And for work spaces. I suspect it would be pretty weird if bars were suddenly very quiet and you could actually hear what people say. Oh, well.
