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?

roguemodel ...

Do you have anything positive to say? Anything?

Have you read this thread from the beginning? Are you saying that everyone who "thinks" he/she's had a positive experience with these fuse upgrades are bat $hit  crazy? 

Read the entire thread. Once you're done with it, hopefully you would have had an enlightened moment and came to the realization that we treat each other with respect around here. 

Nuff said ...

@oregonpapa and knghifi,
it's true, never have read any incidents of negative consequences.

Thanks, David. The power fuse is an easy tweak.

And I meant to thank you, Charles. You're right that if there were problems with these fuses we would have heard about it. Audiophiles are a vocal lot.

I think you are going to be very happy with your CD player and amp. With upgraded fuses in these two locations I believe you will experience a much improved sense of the music flowing.

I look forward to your thoughts after the break in period.
