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?

Congratulation on getting the lid off the Marantz Sa11-2. That unit has one main power fuse and also 6 rail fuses. The rail fuses are 1.6 amp and 1 amp rated. The main fuse is the 3.15 amp.

Leave the unit on 24/7 for best results. Give the fuse a week to settle in.

Wow! Just in case any of my fellow SR Fuse lovers have missed this artist, I present Ms. Barbara Dennerlein:

My unit is always on.  Which component should I do next?  The amp or preamp?

OK I am going to bite. My Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated amp currently has a HiFi Tuning Gold fuse in it for the main fuse. I will buy the SR Black. If this does anything I will then move to the various internal ones which are 4 x F4L250V. I will report back. I've also been meaning to put some fuses in my Luxman cdp/dac as well.
