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?

^^^ Don't know what you mean by "spares" marqmike. 

Don't laugh ... I just ordered 3 WA Quantum Chips to put on the three fuses I'm using now. If they do as advertised, I will no longer leave home.

Will the supermarkets deliver to audiophiles?

Oregonpapa,

Since SR doesn't offer a 7 amp slow blow in red should I go with the Audio Horizon or Audio Magic fuse instead?

I am not laughing. Eh eh eh eh Ha ha ha ha. oreganpapa I was just kidding about spares, unless..... .

Some are using the quantum chip. That does sound like a ....., well interesting. I seriously will be interested to hear how that does for you.

I think amazon has drones delivering. I don't think the drones would mind bringing you your groceries and other needs, Lp's, scotch, ect.

I've also got an ESS rack and love it. 

Every time I add more stillpoints to the system it gets better.

I want another 4 aperture panels.
