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?

Jim, I think to a degree we have.
Thankfully, knowledgeable,perceptive and Honest Audiophiles have clarified for all that this 'talk' or should I say "cheap promotion" of Synergistic Red fuses and Synergistic Quantum Black fuses was the spewing of "nonsense" (childish and idiotic nonsense) from the beginning.  geogelofi analysed it all very nicely and in an summed it up it very succinctly, in an intelligent and balanced comment -- " I just don't get shysters, preaching this sort of voodoo".

Hey, mods! Better check the expiration date on those Roach Motels.

Charles ...

Good things will be coming your way soon.  I'm in the process of putting together a package for you. Included will be the Milt Jackson "Second Nature" album that I mentioned above. It's early Jackson when he was at his best in my opinion.

Hello Frank,
I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to prepare and send these recordings.  I can’t wait to hear them. The last batch of recordings you sent me were excellent and a pleasure to listen to.

No matter how technically astute or insightful my explanation of how aftermarket fuses work you don’t have to look too hard to find some pseudo skeptic or knucklehead who disagrees with me or who says, this cannot be or science won't allow it. This is stacking up to be just another sad episode of 12 Angry Men. Don’t worry, be happy.
