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?

George Jetter,
I have a dedicated music room 25’ X 23’ X 12.6’ high with too many records on the floor but mostly in custom wall shelving. Also about 5,000 of the 7,000 CDs are in metal drawer cases. The records and CDs which are put away on walls and cases are filed in my computer; unfortunately, I’m too busy to list about 8,000 of them (arrivals in the past 10 years). I will attempt to post photos in the future.maybe through a URL?  I had no damage from the 1994 earthquake due to the shelving, 6" concrete floor with tied 1/2" rebar and 8" to 12" thick exterior walls.

I will say the Audio Magic stuff sounds like a bunch of jargon filled marketing crap, but at least they have the honesty to say their beeswax fuse has a very organic "flavor"  :P

Take it from someone who's owned an Audio Magic fuse, it's a honey of a fuse. Sweet!

+5 again Dlcockrum. 
Does anybody here know why a 1987 Saab 900 was my favorite car to drive around in? I doubt it. I can't say for sure. I doubt it could be measured, if it could it would not be easily I'm thinking. But it is. Now here is the tale, should anybody care?
Dlcockrum. I thought an honorable Lawer in southern speak means 'lower'. So George being a 'lower' means he is as you imply is in the humble service of others. I think most will agree we can attest to George being just like that. I think he deserves a pre paid magazine subscription to 'good manners' and 'how to make friends' to help him keep his cheery personality.  This thread would be worse off if he ever loses that.
