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?

"Dave:
I’ve also owned the Ayre K-1xe pre with internal phono for a few years. Enjoyed it a lot. Audition the KX-5 Twenty if you can because it’s stellar."

Hi Paul,

I dare not. My wife and I are raising a Grandson (unexpectedly) and I am grateful to be blessed with the equipment that I already own, yet even more so to be able to make a positive impact on the life of this fine young man.

Best to you Paul,
Dave

Dave,
As most of us have experienced as we progress through ours lives, life can and will hit with the expected. No doubt your grandson is fortunate to be cared for by you and your wife.
I wish the very best to all of you.

For anyone interested in exploring the benefits of graphene further, I highly recommend looking into the Graphene Extreme line of signal and power cables from Cerious Technologies. There is a thread devoted to them on the cables forum.

I purchased a digital cable and PC for my CD Transport. As a result, I am enjoying profound improvements, particularly in the areas of realism, palpability, clarity, detail, and true-to-life tonality of instruments. I will definitely be buying more cables as funds permit. The prices are VERY reasonable, and Bob Grost, the owner of Cerious, has been a pleasure to deal with.
