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?

oregonpapa:

I am confident that you will hear significant differences between the Furutech GTX-R, Synergistic Research Teslaplex, and the newest Synergistic Research Black wall outlet when compared to your present outlet.

Seriously I wonder has anyone ever heard a room done up with synergistic research stuff at a show?   Do other rooms manage to compete or sound better in people's assessment?   How do they demonstrate the effects of their stuff?   Can they switch it in and out for comparison the good old fashioned way somehow?

Does Syn research do Capital Audiofest?   I hope to get there this year maybe and am interested to see and hear how this stuff all works.

@charles1dad thanks and you're right I'm blessed to be busy and have a job that I love! And finally logging some listening this morning Bob Marley & the Wailers 10/30/73 at The Record Plant in Sausalito CA, I feel better already :)

Charles ... thanks for the response. I know you've tried all of the outlets, so I look forward to your assessment of the new SR Black outlet. If it does what the fuses and PC's do, it should be a significant improvement over the others in your collection.

Wow, not even two days and I am hearing more air and decay than I ever did with the sa11 s2.  Listening to Robin Nolan Trio.  Never sounded like this before. Amazing this much difference.
