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?

Ugh, marqmike please keep me out of it. I’m not suggesting anyone to do anything here unless they ask me first.

If you live within driving distance, I'd like to invite you over for a listening session. A triple layer of adult diapers will be required though.

I can teleport myself. Adult diapers are part of my dress code.

With all due respect, there's no problem with anyone "not buying into what is being sold."  The problem lies with those who have a condescending superior attitude while intimating that those of us who have been in the hobby for years, in my case over 40 years, don't know what we are hearing, or that we are fools for investing money on products that "just cannot work."  

Until Mr. Wolfie Cotton Ears (and others) make a trip to MY home and listens to MY system, then he should just keep his trap shut. Without hearing what I have going on, or any of the other members who are enjoying the various tweaks offered by Synergistic Research for that matter, he's going against his own"scientific" principles by not having all of the facts in place to form a legitimate opinion. Until he/they have all of the facts in place, and that would most importantly include hearing first hand the systems in question, they are spouting nothing but bull pucky. I suspect that Wolfie Cotton Ears' dilemma is more about suffering from the pain of envy more than anything else.

This thread has become the audio equivalent of our congress (not) at work. 

no sides taken-just an observation 



Hmm, sounds like its getting personal again, no longer just about the topic at hand.

How about everyone just kiss and make up and start over again?

Or not....
