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?

oregonpapa is smokin some more of his "special blend"--probably
the most valuable component in his listening arsenal.
And the poster trying to say 2 manufacturers recommended these junk
fuses has backed off promptly when asked for clarification.
Again, it's shameful that some unconscionable types, charlatans,snake oil salesman
continue pushing bull shite
but has anyone asked why not ALL manufacturers use these fuses in their components if they make their units sound better? If it were me, I would definitely signed a volume purchase contract with SR just to get some advantage over my competition. Sounds stupid?

If they did, when all this b/s voodoo is finally realized, then they’d be tared with the same brush, and never ever be trusted again.

But SR has never stated in posts or writing themselves, that "these fuses will make your audio sound better", they’ve left it up to the audiophiles gullible "expectation bias" to sell them and keep the BS voodoo sales alive.

BTW Have you noticed that the directionality talk of these fuses has dropped totally,"the signs they are a changin" Dylan.

  Those of you who are fuse doubters have again come around to tell us we are suffering from mass delusion during our listening evaluations. Let me assure you--our experience of enhanced clarity and presence is based in a perceptual reality well within the margins of the lunatic fringe you enjoy placing us in.  Perhaps an important reason why we hear these improvements and you have not, if you have even tried, is that you must have a system supplied by a generous and quiet power supply and components served by ultra pure conductors.  Components, whether of mid or hi-fi quality, must be thoroughly isolated from mechanical vibrations to provide further clarity of sound.  Along with room improvements, the system containing better fuses and that is supported in these ways will be lifted to perceptive improvements unmistakeable by even you, but these fundamental things must be done right.  In these times of fake news, there is truth found right here, on this thread, told by many fellow audiophiles who don't make a habit of spreading fakery, rather, they appreciate hearing the positive results others have experienced when using better fuses. My best wishes to you in finding that truth.
