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?

You did it now Larry (lak), you have awakened the barking chihuahuas.
They are barking up a storm and nipping at your heels. Hahaha!

People always underestimate chihuahuas. In their native country they are bred as hunting dogs and have been known to bring down a 200 lb man who had a 20 yard head start.

You are correct. I can’t explain why.

I have demo’d the standard fuse v after market fuse for a number of, "a fuse can’t make that much of a difference", audio nuts.

Hallelujah, they have been converted.

If you were in Sydney Australia, I would invite you round so you too, could be persuaded to the dark side(ie. the SR black fuse).

Once you have tried black, you’ll never go back.
