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?

Mapman,
Did you mistakenly post your comment here?  Where’s the derogatory comment from joecasey on this thread?

Charles,

I don’t know Joecasey. You’d have to ask him not me.

No people are NOT free to post anything. Derogatory comments directed at others are not allowed and rightfully so.

Looks like his comment was deleted.

OP seemed to think it was entertaining though.

It had nothing to do with fuses or anything audio though so don’t worry.

Mapman,
I didn’t say derogatory comments are acceptable, unfortunately they do happen occasionally , I thought my earlier post made that pretty clear. I also made this same point regarding labtec’s comments towards Oregonpapa. A few negative posts don’t change the tone of a large and predominantly friendly thread. The post that offended you is deleted so a good outcome ultimately. By the way Mapman I addressed you as you took the time /effort to post your concern /displeasure with joecasey and add a comment about "respect" in regard to this thread.

My earlier post "I cant wait to hear" was made on the premise  Wolf-Garcia's post was in good humor. Oregonpapa's post clearly indicate he was of a similar opinion.

I still have no idea what's going on but do hope this matter ends well.

Nayme,
It seems to have ended well given the deleted post from joecasey.
