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?

Yes, just buy them and try if interested. Return within 30 days if not floating your boat.

Is that the end of the thread maybe? What else really matters that has not been covered?

I guess we’ll find out. :^)

Maybe once we solve this problem we can all then move on to world peace.

Wolf, 8000000 volt burn in of a 500V rated fuse doesn’t come cheap. Imagine the electricity bill alone. Not to mention hazard insurance for the folks actually in charge.   Do they have that in China?

Namaste!

"By the way, Geoffkait--in looking at your MD site, I presume your intent is to amuse and educate audiophiles. I appreciate your inventiveness and humor. Just wondering though--if I were to add your teleportation tweak or the intelligent chips to my shopping cart, do you then say, "Stop--enough--I don't actually take your money or send you anything. It's all a hoax, meant to educate the naive." Or, do you really take my money to commit the ultimate scam? You may want to start a new thread on this, or you may choose silence, but please--let's get to the bottom of MD and your real mission."

It's whatever you want it to be.

Mapman, you should write a book, How to go from Fuse Pseudo Skeptic to Fuse Basher in 10 Easy Steps.

jafree,

You got your answer.

Geoff,

Its Ok to have a sense of humor. No reason to get your undergarments in an uproar, as you often like to say.
