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?

I'm with Charles here faith and religion being very tricky subjects which can tend  to divide us, music on the other hand has a tendency to bring us together. For whatever that is worth.
Sunday morning classical with Bach Trios by Yo Yo Ma, Chris Thile, and Edgar Meyer. Not much of a classical listener but I love it on weekend mornings for some reason.

^^^ Jond ...

A good orchestral rendition of Bach's "Air on a G String" seems to move me. 

This is good too:

One artist is better than another and God knows it . God made us but not as puppets on a string, our choices form us in the end .
I would feel foolish if  I was afraid to talk about the ultimate reality .

Speaking of puppets, how about The Meat Puppets? They aren't chopped liver.
