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?

I posted thread #3200. Thermal Magnetic Breakers - I find it hard to believe this thread is almost at 3700. Try Older Whiskey, Faster Horses, More Money, Younger Women.

Best to All on this Journey 
Just had to make it #3700. I picked more money and younger women.
Superb Match.

Thanks for your reply .
I also been placed fuses with arrow point down and the wadia as well .
sound very good so far .
I just bought another SR black for Mcintosh C50 preamp , do you have any idea with arrow point LEFT or Right  ? I currently place fuse with arrow to RIGHT !  ( from front view of C50 i flip 180 degree from right to left , bottom of C50 face up then I set fuse into it with arrow to RIGHT , dont know and not sure it is right or wrong !  ) Best regards !

*** Up to date after test the Synergistic SR Black fuse in my Mcintosh C50 preamp .... the correct direction is arrow to the LEFT *** . I had 4 SR black fuses in my system .... sound fantastic !!!! Hope this posted a hint to some one has the same preamp. Cheers .

I suppose the take-away here is that the fuse is directional and that it should be tried both directions to see which way sounds best.
