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?

But your book doesn't count. You don't even have a book.

Where are the forum police when you need them? This back and forth bickering nonsense is getting way old... Guys,put a cap on it please and keep it on topic.

I have roughly 23 hours on the SR Black fuse which I installed in my ARC Ref 3 preamp. What I'm hearing is voices are very dynamic, they really sound great,  and everything else sounds like dsd on steroids. It's just too smooth right now, the sound has lots its edge, and the bass is not hitting with authority, somewhat disappointed but perhaps in time all will be fine.
