Quantum Science Audio Thread

"It depends on the orientation of the iec input on the back of the component. if the iec input is oriented so that the center contact is below the contacts on the left and right, then the hot is on the right side, and the arrow should point to the left. If the center contact is above the left and right contacts, then the fuse should point to the right".

Thanks again to willgolf (and Mike) for this valuable info. In addition to the yellow for the Quicksilver preamp, I have now ordered the violet for the Rogue Atlas Magnum. Turns out the center contact for the Quicksilver is above while the center contact for the Rogue is below. Without this info, I would probably have oriented both fuses in the same direction.

When you write “point to the right” what orientation?  Looking at the component from the front or rear?
 Thanks for the tip!

I'm interpreting it as looking from the rear. So, in my case, the arrow on the Quicksilver should go left to right (center contact above), while the arrow on the Rogue should go right to left (center contact below).

Any of you guys using these Fuses in a CD/SACD player?
Which level/model did you start?  Results in comparison to the competition?

Happy Listening!

I’m starting to notice an unnerving artificial recess in the midrange on closely miked instruments and voices using the new QSA Yellow fuse, compared to the SR Orange fuse. Anyone else noticing the same?
