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?

Well if teh Black Fuse truly uses Graphene as claimed then it might well be more conductive than silver.    How about in teh interest of science open up a Black fuse and report on the contents for us?

If the graphene claims can be verified independently that would score another point for SR and also help justify the cost further.

It could be like those flavored drinks,  yeah there is a little pomegranite in there but its mostly sugar and artificial flavorings.

One other question.

Red fuse. Graphene or no Graphene? Is Graphene an advertised feature of Black Fuse only?  Inquiring minds want to know!

hmmm, one can’t help wondering if the little black dot on the outside of the BLACK fuse is the Graphene, you know as in graphite. Isn’t that the thing that supposedly interferes with the WA Quantum Chip for fuses? One gets the feeling the Graphene is not being employed as a conductor. I know what you’re thinking: how do you know that!

pop quiz: what's in the WA Quantum Chip for Fuses?

"OK, try this one......remove the "red fuse" and bridge out he the fuse holder with some copper wire,"

 "I tried this with a pure silver fuse replica that was highly polished. After A*B-ing a few times... my conclusion was... the SR black fuse was highly superior in every way."
Did you try reversing the direction of your wire? Maybe it was backward.
