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?

I know this isn't fuse related, but it's Synergistic Research related...has anyone compared the Synergistic Research UEF Black Duplex to the Furutech GTX-D NCF (R) outlet? 

If not, can those that have compared the Black to the regular GTX-D describe the differences?

Thank you!
David, sherod, thanks for those tips. The cheaper fuses are tempting, but I can see myself wondering how much better the Blacks would be, and then ... well, I think we all know how that would turn out.
In my opinion Audio Magic Beeswax SHD fuses are better than the blacks. I know they are very pricy (for fuses) but they worth the money.
I have AM SHD in my pre and Blacks in the amps (also in the DAC).. I think the improvement in the Pre superior to the one in the mas and much to my gusto and system.
The Blacks could be Beethoven, Mahler or Bruckner, the AM could be Mozart. 🤒
