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 don’t think it’s correct to say it’s an open forum per se. Most other audio forums don’t allow politics, religion or other hot topics on audio forums but instead have a place where people can go and bash away at each other.  It's usually called Outside or Everything Else or whatever. Not everyone is so cordial and objective when discussing politics. :-) Of course you could just wait and see if the mods step in. They might not care, who the heck knows? Besides, isn't audio controversial enough?

+1.  And of course that is also often the case at non-audio forums.  For example I participate in a forum for computer enthusiasts and builders, which among many other sub-forums has one called "heated debates."  That is where discussions of politics, religion, and other subjects that are just about certain to result in ugly off-topic exchanges are relegated.

And perhaps that is where the line in the sand that Charles referred to should be drawn.  When a topic is BOTH particularly controversial AND not germane to the subject matter of the forum.

Hi Jond,

Okay back to the fuses

Charles, they're an asset in my system.

George , It's all silly voodoo.

Wolf, You're all a herd of sheep with this fuse nonsense.

Life is good again.

Charles
