Davidpritchard, my modified krell 700cx uses 4 fast blow fuses, so yes, there is product out there that uses fast blow fuses in amplifier's.
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 have replaced all of my AH Fuses with the SR-B (4), 2 in CD Player, 1 in Tube Power Supply and 1 in my Amp and all I can say is WOW! Just like everyone else has reported, more transparency without any brightness, Much deeper/wider soundstage with unbelievable imaging.... Every component I put these fuses in were drastic but the CD Player results were shocking!,. Listening to one of my favorite Classic Guitarist, Julian Bream, Giuliana Grand Overture, Op. 61 Sonata in C, Op. 15: Allegro from a 1969 recording. This is not an Audiophile recording and you can hear the flaws in the conversion to digital such as hisses and noise but with the SR-B, it's as if I upgraded the processor itself. The sound became much cleaner, smoother with a vast deep stage. Try one to see if some of these attributes can be duplicated in your system. |
Wig ... I'm a classical guitar nutcase. Julian Bream is one of my favorite players along with John Williams. They are brilliant. Don't know if you have it, or if it ever came out on CD, but the vinyl is so well recorded that you become a member of the audience. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JULIAN-BREAM-JOHN-WILLIAMS-Live-LP-2-LPs-gatefold-cover-slight-cover-wear-/3... I've had the most recent purchased SR Black fuse burning in in the CD Player for the last three days. The first CD I played tonight was one featuring Julian Bream ... in your honor, Wig. Wow, that guitar was in the room like I've never heard before. With every component upgraded from the SR Red to the SR Black, I get the same result, after break in, of course. More clarity, more speed, more tonal accuracy ... just a lot more of everything we crazy audiophiles love. Take care ... |
