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?

The reasons Magic Fuses work have been posted many times. Have you tried using the Search function?

Highstream. I find that the SR black fuses increase the color and certainly the texture of instruments. The added detail and ambience give more life to the music, not just leading edge transients. Maybe in his system the SR fuses aren't working well.

Really!!!!!!!! you guys need to go back to natural, the hydro is messing with you.

Fuses matter! Gear might fry without them. By all means use good ones to prevent that just like the good gear makers did originally to deliver that great sound and long life everyone wants.

I trust certain ones enough to buy their gear so who better to recommend a fuse when needed? Maybe even ask specifically about the SR option if that’s how you might like to roll.

I’d be interested to know what actual gear makers say about the SR or other high end fuse options in their specific gear that they know best.

Or you can just trust whoever on the internet you happen to decide is best qualified or you just happen to like or want to believe in  for that recommendation.

Definitely do not do anything that might unknowingly invalidate any warranties.

In all cases I wish all only the best of luck.

This is your brain. This is your brain without a fuse.
