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?

This is not quite the most fun I have had today but it is probably about time for this thread to return to its regularly scheduled programing....it was doing so well before the negative waves crashed the party again.

Why don’t you knock it off with the negative waves,
Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here,
Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change,

Have a nice hair day


Who here has the Black UEF Power Cord? Now that I've replaced all my fuses with the blacks, I think that's my next step.

Yes, there is a thread that discusses the SR power cords including the UEF power cord. Here's the link:

You'll have to scroll down a bit as the thread starts out discussing the SR Atmosphere Level 3 power cords.
