Yeah…since I question this nonsense and the motivation behind the "over the top" promotion of SR’s technically unexplainable and likely useless products in a room full of believers, I do row against the tide. If some of the uber sensitive among us can’t simply answer technical queries with anything other than a "try it and send it back" reflexive dismissal or fanboy obfuscation, I don’t mind, and frankly expect nothing less. I only assume there’s a commercial connection to the promotors of this stuff because that’s the only thing that makes sense…and the defensive stance feigning insult is exactly what makes that seem more likely. If you read Almarg’s extremely well informed, elegantly written, and technically accurate posts you could learn something about fuse directionality or audio mythology, but these fall into the category of "pearls before swine" when laid at the feet of the oddly motivated faithful.
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 ...
