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?

To finish my point Jond, the Yamamoto DAC like all really good components seems to respond to better power  cables and fuses. That's been my experience anyway.

One of the most striking things about the SR Black fuses is the way they let you hear into the music and detect the speed of instruments. Piano is a great case in point. Guitars also. It improves as the fuses break in. 
charles1dad,
I'm planing on putting a SR Black fuse into my second Yamamoto DAC, (Bill already has a SR Red in the one a acquired from him).
When I get around to it and have the SR Black in my hands, I'll send you a message regarding direction. The darn gear is too difficult to pull out more then once regarding experiemtation.
Argghh listening is on hold for a while, one of my banana plugs sheared right off in the binding post of my speaker and is lodged in there. A perfect capper to an annoying Friday workwise.
