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?

andynotam:

A nice summary of what to expect when putting the Black fuse in a self powered sub. I experienced much of the same you have so nicely described. After two weeks the fuse was fully settled in and the music had a better flow than the sub with a stock fuse.

It is worth the effort to upgrade the sub fuse to a Black fuse.

it makes you wonder how many people are working for these companies on the forums.  Yep, I'm suspicious.

That's right, Wolf---this whole thing is a collective scheme of SR promotion hidden by a carefully-maintained act of mass delusion, and it's all been done to fool YOU.  Damn---you got us. I sure am enjoying my SR Blacks in my Maggies--next up, AC mains.

wolf-garcia & kclone ...

I'm beginning to get suspicious that there is a faction of naysayers that are attempting to denigrate a manufacturer that is providing extraordinary products and getting extraordinary results because these very same naysayers are actually sellers or manufacturers of competing products that just cannot make the grade, cannot compete, and in general, just don't measure up.  

Those of us who have taken the time in posting positive things about SR are posting because we are experiencing great results, not because we "work for SR" or involved in some nefarious scheme to "promote extremely profitable audio voodoo. "

Do you guys have any idea how insulting your negative posts are to those of us who are sincerely trying to help our fellow audiophiles attain better results from their systems? Of course you don't. Why would you? Social cretins seldom do. 

Now go turn on your Pioneer receivers, listen to your Bose speakers and enjoy your eight-track tape machine and have a nice day. 

Sheesh!
