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?

+1 ptss, and I’d say every tech on this planet would say so too. And they are the ones that design the equipment we all listen to.
And here we have a few voodooists that have next to no tech skills at all saying they’re wrong.
It’s really sad to think that they have some influence over the gullible to hand over a hundred + dollars for a 10 cent mains fuse, and to also have the hide to say it's directional as well, with no proof from the manufacturer stating so.

^^^  I was going to answer .... but what's the point? There's way too much music to listen to tonight to be the whipping boy for a couple of infantile egos. 

By the way ... I installed six of Herbies tube dampeners in the ARC-CD 7-se last night. The result? ... A completely new level of resolution and musicality. Zowie.

I try to avoid responding to trolls but did George change his username  with hifi instead of lofi? What the...!
Frank,

Are you using the Rx or the SS dampers for your CD7?  BTW, I read through some of your previous posts and bought the Linda Ronstadt Round Midnight Album.  Got it from Amazon and love it.  Anything that you can recommend similar to that?  Thx and greatly appreciated:)
