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 just came across a review of the SR Black fuse and one of their power cords over at Audio Bacon. Take it for what it's worth but the reviewer(s) ended up replacing all of their fuses due to the results they got. 

I know, it's all pay for play and they got all kinds of kickbacks and who can trust reviewers anyway and it's all a scam and everyone's in on it and they're all delusional and it's all due to expectation bias and they all keep jars of magic beans around just in case they need to go out on their unicorns in search of giants.....

All the best,

An additional thought regarding the recent posts on SR’s Acoustic Paint patent, adding to the previously stated facts that the patent makes no mention of fuses, UEF, or Inductive Quantum Coupling. Or for that matter anything that has to do with the processing of electrical signals or AC power. (It is about **acoustic** paint, after all):

A careful reading of the 10 claims in the patent makes clear that all 10 claims are limited to applications of the paint to the walls of a listening room. Therefore if another manufacturer were to market fuses treated with a paint formulated identically to the descriptions provided in the patent, he would be able to do so without infringing on Mr. Denney’s patent.

One more reason why the reference to a patent in the Blue Fuse’s description, which states that....
At Synergistic Research we’ve isolated key factors that affect how electricity propagates by changing the behavior of electrons through Inductive Quantum Coupling methods we collectively call UEF Tech. In fact, UEF Tech is so powerful even an electrical chain several miles long is fundimentally [sic] improved with nothing more than a single fuse engineered with our patented UEF Technology.
... is dubious at best.

I am a little curious to know what ever happened to Synergistic’s terminology Quantum Tunneling? It was an excellent ploy. Has it been replaced by Quantum Coupling? Maybe someone informed them that quantum tunneling is a very specific quantum phenomenon that would almost certainly not (rpt not) occur, whether you pumped a million volts into a fuse or a kazillion. Unified Field Effects is also a very cool term, quite reminiscent of Einstein’s Unified Field Theory. 😛

Then there's this. Field effect (semiconductor) - Wikipedia
Wikipedia › wiki › Field_effect_(semico...
In physics, the field effect refers to the modulation of the electrical conductivity of a material by the application of an external electric field. In a metal the electron density that responds to applied fields is so large that an external electric field can penetrate only a very short distance into the material. 


Has any replaced their fuses on a Marantz SA8005 cd player.  I haven't opened it up to see if it's possible.

Pardon me but I too think the patent leaves open the door for modulation by an external source not just particle motion of the air in the room. If it were just the air in the room then the ambient temp. and humidity would be the constant variable as to how the paint would react and perform at any given period of time. Tom
