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?

Ha! I should have known better than to use humorous parody to chide a naysayer. Hard to get a laugh from those devoid of a sense of humor. Measure 50 times and cut once GeorgieLoFi.  

Carry on ...

PS:  I have another review of an outstanding jazz recording I'd like to share with the group. Do I have your permission to proceed GeorgieLoFi?

LOL,George, come on my audiogon brother! for goodness sake, appreciate the satire. . This is why the post by the other George (jetter) was so on the mark in its summation and humorous characterization. There is a clear distinction between Al as compared to Georgehifi and Wolf. I rest my case.

Homage to Duke by Dave Grusin is a fantastic recording.

BTW - since when did this thread become about Jazz recordings? Did I miss something in the way fuser’s logic is fused? Like the way fuser's think that extreme sensitivity to fuses and possibly other extraneous factors means their equipment performance is exceptionally good?

Music and recommending recordings (mostly jazz but some classical as well) have been a staple on this thread for quite  some time and I'm glad for it. What more can be said regarding the fuses (pro or con) that wasn't stated 80 pages ago? As the OP (Frank) has noted, there're many music lovers participating on this thread. Shadorne thanks for the Grusin recommendation.
