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?

Only 64 posts and 53 of them on SR fuses. And they all started just after the SR fuse thread started.
Good work contributing to audio in general on all these forums. Blind Freddy can see what’s going on here.
And good on you  oregonpapa  for backing him.
Double Cheers to you.
Dear Wolfie and Mr. Cheers ...

I had a long diatribe all written out in response to you two guys ... four paragraphs long. It kind of reminded me of the last conversation I had with my ex-wife. During that last conservation she said that If I brought home one more LP or purchased one more piece of stereo equipment she'd leave me for good. After 35 years of being married and 22 years of being divorced, I still miss that woman sometimes. 

I was wondering ... is there anything that I could do that would encourage you two guys leave this thread for good? I promise, I'll try to miss you from time to time. 

Nah .... :-)
Too bad there’s no Stereo Review, EarsR’goN blog site, to attract what must have been Julian’s fans. Such would at least divert some of the nonsense.  Sneers!
Frank,
No diatribe needed. Consider this,

All of that vs some redundant negativity from actually a miniscule number of people.
Verdict? Undeniably sucessful and interesting long running thread thanks to you.. Rejoice in the sheer volume of listeners who’ve improved the sound of their systems and have heighten their enjoyment of hearing the music. Take a bow, you’ve earned it 😊
