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?

Hello,
after installing a Audio Magic Besswax with great success in the pre, I installed yesterday 2 SR Black fuses in the mono amps (all tubes electronics). Only a few hours but already good things from the start : more purity and cleaness, more "you are there" effect.
I have big hopes on mixing the presumably best fuse's quality on the market at that time.
The pre fuse (Beeswax) replaced a SR Red and the Black in the amps replaced HF Tuning Supreme. 
Burning in is a pain. Do someone knoxs if a kind of a fuse burner does exist ?

I use the burn in track on the XLO Test CD. Let it play on repeat for two days, one week or two weeks, the longer continuous playing the better the results.

joecasey with the personal attacks again.  Do you have a job?  Stalking me can't pay well.

Nice some people find him funny and condone personal attacks from others.

So much for the "respect" thread. Very hypocritical and disgusting! The neighborhood here just went considerably downhill.
