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?

We don't want or need your sarcastic, uneducated remarks.


The gullible audiophiles do, to protect them from things said about fuses by members who's half of their total posts are about voodoo improvements with these holy grail of fuses!!!!

fleschler, not here! George, if you think that those of us who claim that fuses can make a difference are just gullible, why are spending your time here? In any case, you've made your point, so please move on.

As you can see from my posts in this thread, the experiences I've had with the SR Black fuses are just the opposite of what the commentator was saying in the PS Audio fuse thread.

I don't mean to be overly critical but this whole fuse thing is really nothing more than a microcosm of the age-old mud fight between ADVANCED audiophiles and, well, you know...at this particular point in time it would appear the anti fuse delegation has run out of ammo again and are probably looking around for some more dummy loads.
