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?

As usual an astute observation.  Choice B  sums it up succinctly. 
There's a certain sad/pathetic quality  witnessing people who must repeatedly pat themselves on the back proclaiming how "smart" they happen to be.  

The genuinely smart  don't have to constantly remind others of this attribute,  the proof is self evident..  Perhaps the saviors perched on their soapbox should take note.

^^^ John and Charles ...  I too opt for "B." 

In addition, for your consideration, I would like to add category "C."

C) These are the ones who carry negative feelings throughout their entire narrow darkened little lives toward anyone who is more successful, more intelligent or better looking than they are.

There is a high probability of domestic violence perpetrated by them upon family members and/or friends either verbally, physically, or both somewhere in their history.

This is a person who bears watching very closely as one of the ways in which their "disease" manifests itself is in sneaky, underhanded subversions as they attempt to undermine those who they secretly hate.

In the business world we know them as "back stabbers."

I have no opinion regarding fuse feasibility, but I do enjoy the banter.  I am however, beginning to see a growing lack of tolerance on both sides of this seemingly divisive issue.  These last few posts remind of what has happened recently on college campuses.  You are free to say and think whatever you want, as long as we agree with it.  Otherwise get off our campus.  I don't mean to bring politics into the discussion, but I do think that today's political climate is a reflection of us as a country and world - so very divisive.  Maybe this thread is a microcosm of the same unrest.

As Rodney King once famously said, "Can't we all just get along" ?
I find amateur psychological analysis a welcome breath of fresh air.
