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?

Jond,
It's still strange to me that Maryland is in the Big Ten conference.  My mind still associates them with the ACC and particularly for basketball.

Newbie question. Which would one gain more ( probably Both is the correct answer), upgraded fuse or upgraded power cord?

Charles you and me both! I really miss the ACC to me its more of a basketball conference. Big Ten is better for football of course but I am a basketball guy all the way.

So it's ok to discuss sports on an audio site but NOT politics?   I guess who CRIES the loudest decides what to censor??

knghifi if you can't see the difference between politics and sports I can't really help you. And no censorship I made a respectful request to Frank.
