One thing I should say is that I am not one to continually pick apart how my stuff sounds. I've managed to get past all that with the setup I've assembled currently. The fuse is there and sounding good. It may be providing some change in the sound. It sounds really good fuse in or out. If there are differences, they are subtle so either way works. I dabbled with a/b compares the other day and am done with that. The fuse will likely stay in now that its there. If it blows would I replace it? Dunno yet. I'll wait to cross that bridge. I am not likely to be running out and replacing all my fuses with these though.
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 ...
