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?

Geoff, 

Better get that selective memory loss checked out.

Even so, you can read right?   No need for me to repeat it.

In any case you're forgiven.   Just don't do it again.

geoff, come on, actually Jipkait is very humorous.  And if Map did "purchase a sense of humor", would it come with a 30 day money back guarantee?

"Let me turn the question around and ask you, how do you think I eliminate all those things? There is only one system I can think of that makes that possible."

Despite the likely hypocrisy of my post, I’d just like to remind everyone, please do not feed the trolls. As you all are aware, some post primarily to derogate others and responding to them only amplifies the situation.

Thanks to the 99% for a good, informative thread with quality input from both sides of the fuse debate.
