The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
5 amp works fine in my Ref6 and Ref75se.  Also you should check out the Sain Line PCs for them.

Steakster, Glad you like your fuses.  I like mine also.Just curious if the op pays full price for his fuses.  It just helps the reader to know how to value the info.  Innocent question.   
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Just curious op, are you paying for your fuses?  Would you be willing to post a receipt?  Not disputing the fuses; I have several. But the constant “they are in the room” is a bit over the top..

My ARC ph8 has a 2 amp fuse.  I replaced the 5 amp Black fuse in my Ref 6 with a Blue 5 amp fuse.  Does anyone know if there is a risk with putting my Black 5 amp fuse in my ph8, replacing the stock 2 amp fuse?

 Just curious if you people with a very dramatic difference, if you’re plugging your products directly into the wall, or into a power conditioner? I have my amps and preamps plugged into an Audio Magic Stealth conditioner and the fuse effect is mi... 
Audio Research Ref 6 power cord
Count me with the Sain Line fans.  I do also use the Synergistic Red fuses in my ARC ref6/ref75se combo, but the Sain Line cords are a more noticeable improvement.  I did not really get a boost from the fuses, but YMMV.  I have tried some other ca...

OP, curious if you have ever brought home a Ref 6 to try yet?  I have the SR Black fuses in my gear, and they are fine.  Not really "game changers" in my opinion, but to each his own.  But the Ref 6 is really a game changer.  I did have a ref 3 pr...

"A friendly reminder to all that replace fuses in their equipment to remember to turn off the equipment before replacing the fuse. I do not know why but changing the fuse recently with a different fuse resulted in the new fuse blowing. I would gue... 
Dennis Had Inspire SET with KEF LS50s
The Inspire amps have great drive abilities, a lot better then a 300b SET.  What are your goals?  is this to be your only amp?  For me, I enjoy playing with this stuff.  I like to throw in a SET for a few days, and then go back to my Ref75se.  The... 
SET amps (almarro vs decware)
Check out the new Dennis Had Inspire amps.  There is quite a lengthy thread on another forum about them.  Excellent amps and very reasonable.  
Audio Research Reference 6 Preamp Review
The Ref 6 is simply an amazing preamp.  Yes, sorry to say it to the "they keep coming out with new models all the time" crowd but it is a quantum leap over the Ref5se.  And yes, I did say that about the improvement the 5se made over the 5.  I did ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Just curious, why do some people either attribute goodness or blame everything on a fuse?  I say this as a person with the SR Black in my ARC Ref 6 and 75se.  When my system sounds great, I just don't think, "must be the fuse!".  It is a subtle ef...

David, what are your 300B amps? 
Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp
"Need to hear a dartzeel or Agostino before dissing all solid state. IMO"Good point.  I have only heard the D'agostino at shows, but these are at a very different price point.  I think the OP was looking at spending $8k. 
Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp
" You won't find a solid state amp that is as good as your Ref 150. "all of my digital amplifier experiences have been pretty disappointing.   I would be completely shocked if a digital amp could compete seriously with a ref 150!
