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?

+1 on the "Or consumer fraud"

+1 on the "the fuse rating issue remains a dangerous thing"
"Fuse blew? Try one rated higher"

This last one will void warranties', and lead to declined insurance claims.

Dave,
The concern is indeed sweet 😅
Somehow though I believe we'll be okay. I'm listening to Lee Konitz "Live At The Half Note " very nice!  Yes we'll survive just fine. 
Happy New Year to all, pro or con premium fuses.

I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it appears a bunch of dudes on this thread, without mentioning any names, were somehow left off the distribution list for the memo regarding Warren Gehl’s input about wire extrusion.
