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?

Hi Bill,
Congratulations on your Lyngdorf, I'm glad that it meets all of your audio system needs. I've seen reviews/articles on it but haven't heard one. I'm a thoroughly happy SET lifer I've come to realize. It gratifying to find music listening contentment by which ever means gets us there 😊😊.

So my long awaited 3 SR Black UEF Power Cords arrived today after a long but rewarding wait :)

Decided to use one of them with my PliXir power conditioner first and the improvement in the sound quality was immediate and not subtle at all. The second PC went to my Sony HDD HAP Z1-ES music server while the Third PC was connected to my AVM C9 Integrated amp.

All I can say is wow!! For lack of an audiophile vocabulary, there were extra details I was picking up from very familiar tracks and the bass was deeper and sounded so much tighter. Have never heard the intro to this particular track sound so aggressive before. Love what I am hearing so far and have decided to leave all the cords as it is in the system and enjoy the music in the break in process.

Apologies for not being able to articulate what I am hearing into words but one thing I know is that I will be looking to purchase the SR ground block next, after the PC's break in.

Frazee,
No need for apologies, you've expressed the main point unambiguously. The power cables improved your system's sound quality and that says it all.  Congratulations.
