I am delighted to hear all the favorable views about tweaks and my only point is to give them a try so long as you can get full refund, which I did with my red fuse. The dealer who sold it to me noted that he had "sold thousands of them few few returns." This audio market is rampant with folks selling tweaks of unfathomably dubious usefulness, one of which is a frequent poster on this thread who makes completely absurd claims, so my best advice for my beloved fellow audiophiles is get a grip on your audio neurosis and just sit back and enjoy the music. I just got a new release of 1976 Stan Getz recording today and it is fantastic. Fuses are the farthest thing from my mind right now....
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 ...
