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 am still waiting for my 3 10 gauge black PC to arrive. Ordered them about 3 week back, am getting rather restless :(

Hi OP,

The local dealer is saying there's some delay from SR's end. They are good, honest people so I have no reason to doubt them.

Just getting impatient to have the PC's into my system that's all ;)

Not to worry, fazee. When I ordered my four, Level 3 PC's, they sent one with a note saying that they had to build the other three. I got them in about 10 days from the time the first one was delivered.

Amazing product, by the way. The build quality is suburb as is the sound. They keep improving over a 200 hour period as they break in. They killed the PC's I was using before right off the bat, and the ones I was using before were no slouches at all. 

Good things come to those who wait. :-)

Hello Frank,
I just received your CDs today. 7 of them!  I'll be doing a lot of listening beginning with the Montgomery Brothers later tonight, I must hear Buddy play the vibraphone. Frank thanks so much for taking the time to do this favor.
Sincerely,
Charles
