Just ordered a black fuse for my preamp I will find out if all the talk and hype about it is justified and let you guys know.
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've been quietly enjoying this thread for a few days now - thanks all for taking the time to post your impressions. It's refreshing to see a spirited discussion not devolve into sophomoric insults or innuendos about systems as a means to rationalize why some don't hear benefit. I for was was a fuse skeptic until trying my first audiophile fuse couple of years ago - didn't take long to become a convert. In fact, I just finished off my system with hifi tuning fuses in my crossover and in the PSU for my DAC (they were the last to get upgraded... caught the sale and figured why not). I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. I'll save the SR black fuses for another day... OregonPapa - I assume you're also in the PNW? |
