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?

My earlier post "I cant wait to hear" was made on the premise  Wolf-Garcia's post was in good humor. Oregonpapa's post clearly indicate he was of a similar opinion.

I still have no idea what's going on but do hope this matter ends well.

Nayme,
It seems to have ended well given the deleted post from joecasey.

Sorry to disappoint, mapman ... but I was laughing at (and enjoying) geofkait's comment. I didn't see joecasey's post. Haven't a clue who he is.

OP, not to belabor a tangential issue, but to add some clarification to the recent discussion Mapman was referring to the first paragraph of your post dated 7-16-2016 1:17pm EDT, on page 45 of the thread, which began with the words "Oh my gawd!  I just spewed my morning coffee all over my computer screen."  A subsequent sentence in that paragraph quoted from the now deleted post by Mr. Casey.

My suggestion to everyone is that when disrespectful personal attacks are posted that the offended member click the "Report This" link that appears in the lower right corner of every post when that location is pointed to, select "abusive towards another member" as the reason for the report, add any relevant comments, and click "send report."

Best regards,

Of course the other sure fire way of dealing with offensive or disrespectful behavior is tell your mommy.
