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 find it very interesting that so many of us are getting astounding results from the SR fuses ... and yet, there are the few who get nothing out of them at all. ... Why there are those who cannot hear the improvements is beyond me. A mystery to be sure.

Same reason one hears different degrees of improvement in components with aftermarket fuses where degree can be zero.

In my case, tube amp most sensitive, follow by tube pre and then SS amp = tube DAC.

I liked the SR Red , but the original fuse has more body and weight in the sound, now, if black was better in these parameters than Red, this will be interesting.

  Synergistic Research Black fuese has more weight and body, midbass compared to Red???

Been out town oregonpapa. Your comment on my 90% profit note on 3/22.

I have no problem with that percentage" if-in-fact it makes a noticable difference."

                                       Just a statement.

Here are a list that I tried an own. 1.HI-FI Tuning all different #'s going back 8 yrs.

                                                     2.Snyergestics: All the SR series. & Red.

                                                     3. Furutech: T series

                                                     4. Audio Magic. Super fuse series.

What am using. Audio Magic fuses all the way. "I've not tried the Beeswax."

This requires (9) fuses for all of my Gear. If your addition is good. Then its

easy to see why 90% profit NOTE.   Has weight to ones wallet

 Now someone tell  ME which piece of my gear to try the BLACK fuse with FIRST to confirm it's a out & out revelation>> or not.!!

I agree about Audio Magic Super Fuse. That’s one helluva little fuse. And Skeptics enjoy the liquid filling. Mmmmm, liquid filling.  I used it in my long gone all tube Woo Audio headphone amp, whereas for my uber modded Oppo 103 the stock fuse was replaced by a copper thingamabob. Was that wrong?
