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?

So, anyone who is not on board the SR train is a downer? A bold move. It sounds like you’re saying we need a little more enthusiasm. 😛 Meanwhile, I’ll look into setting up a Damage Assessment and Spin Control Office. 😀

There are those who know how to respectfully and courteously disagree, and have made positive contributions to this thread (almarg is one example). Then there are those who just enjoy stirring up controversy and demeaning those they disagree with. The latter have nothing positive to contribute.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'm sure the mods are quite adept at deep sixing anyone who steps over the line. 😬

Hey guys ...

Positive disagreement and constructive criticism is always welcome. This is how we learn

Go back and read this entire thread. You'll see why I opted to start the new Blue fuse thread in a different forum. I'm pretty much done here. 

Bring your positive selves over to the Misc. Audio forum for a good discussion on the new SR Blue fuses. They are quite remarkable.
