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?

On a side note ... who put Meth in the Clemson football team's Gatorade?

Clemson appears to have the athletic caliber to push Bama, we’ll soon find out. Their defensive front seven is no doubt impressive! The offense is definitely very explosive. You rarely see Ohio State get handled in that fashion, completely dominated by Clemson.

I guess that Ohio State showed that they did not belong there. I wonder if that will have any weight in the future, next time that the selection committee considers a non-conference champion to place in the final 4.

Ohio State was impressive early, but was really leaking oil coming down the stretch. Losing to PSU, and barely escaping Michigan and Michigan State.

Clemson vs Bama should be a good match-up. It's a shame it's on too late for us East Coasters who have to get up early for work to watch. I'm sure I will see a replay eventually.

Having been married to a Bama fan for 35 years and becoming one myself by said association I am looking for a great game between Bama and Clemson, recalling last year's game, I believe Clemson outplayed them for 3 quarters and that Clemson just got Sabined in the last quarter. wine or lose we are looking for a great game.
