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 finished going through all the product literature I brought home from CAF. Everyone makes superlative claims to help get their product attention. Why should fuses be any different. Heck I can afford a few of these fuses easier than most anything sold there that I liked. And they surely are not likely to make anything sound worse. So have at it. Superlative claims are a dime a dozen.  Some might even be true.

There's an old saying in sales ... "Don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle." 

With that said, sometimes the steak is even better than the sizzle.

There's a Doughnut Shoppe in NYC that displays a sign that reads, We Serve the Best Coffee in the World. Mapmann, are you trying to tell me me it's NOT the best coffee in the world?

Some people are into great coffee like we are into great sound. I'm into both.

Home roasting is the way to go if you really love coffee.  Only the world's finest beans from small family owned organic farms will do the trick.

Guatemalan coffee is my favorite.  

And believe it or not, there's the occasional person who cannot tell the difference. They are the ones who buy Folgers because its cheap, or they think the burnt charcoal swill Starbucks sells is great coffee. 

Its amazing how a fresh brewed cup of fine home roasted Guatemalan coffee goes with the morning listening session.  

OP
Anyone here tried the new Audio Magic Beeswax SHD Fuse? Currently have a SR Black Fuse installed in my DAC and am in the market for another fuse for my integrated amp. Might try the AM Beeswax SHD if there is enough positive feedback.
