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?

^^^ NIce ... thank you.  Pretty much what we've all been experiencing.  Very cost effective tweaks.  I'm in the process of getting system covered with Herbie's tube dampeneres at the moment ... another VERY worthwhile tweak. After the tubes are done, I want to try a set of SR's PHT's on my phono cartridge. I've read some rave reviews on these little babies. 
The nice gear the fuses were in probably had something to do with earning all those notes.  I wonder how many notes earned with the original fuses?   

Would be be nice to be able to earn so much credit so easily.
