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?

Well, George, sometimes the view from the top of a fence can be an interesting one :-)

BTW, I'm sure OP's statement that you quoted was said with tongue firmly planted in cheek. :-)

Best regards,

Al, what you need is a tweak intervention, whereby the principals of this thread would descend on your house with a bag full of cords, cables and fuses and transform your system. For his sins, GK would be made to dance, chant and shake rattles. When you are well entranced, everyone will sit down and Oregon will press "play".

Did you search that Furutech OCC page?

I don’t know Al, he’s applauded things that left me shaking my head in wonder and fear for the gullible.

PS: maybe I should try sitting on your fence, this s**t is starting give me an ulcer.

Cheers George

"fear for the gullible"

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t waste my time challenging anything one can read in these parts.

Does anyone doubt there are some who obviously and shamelessly prey on the gullible?

That’s a sin. No technology or science or 30 day guarantees will change that one.

We non voodooists, all know this fuse stuff is at best, bunch of psychological BS, ...

Let say it is a placebo effect.   Who cares how it works as long as it works.

Thank GOD I'm not as sophisticates as you. georgelofi. Handcuffed the need for technical explanations.  Like I said, it pays to be stupid!
