"I hope the fuses break-in sounding at least as good as when I first installed them."
They will, fleschler, and more refined.
Best to you,

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, again, my question remains unanswered, although obviously I still think it's relevant and very basic. Most manufacturers of "audiophile" tweak products like gear racks, cables, tube dampers, spiky or rubbery feet, etc., will be happy to explain the whys and wherefores of what the product actually technically does, even if the design theories are a little sketchy or controversial. Fuses not so much, or in the case of SR's fuses, nada. I've tried 'em, they don't do anything sonically at 8 times the price of standard issue fuses, and they're somewhat dangerous. |
at 8 times the price of standard issue fusesWolf, you left a zero off of your price comparison factor. I pay about $1.50 for Cooper/Bussmann glass fuses or, if I splurge, about $3 for their ceramic body fuses. Al, I agree with you about the whole fuse thing...... http://orig05.deviantart.net/f16b/f/2014/142/7/e/fleetwood_mac_mystery_to_me_by_jonowens-d7j8rew.jpg |
