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?

Borrowing from two of the above posts, an unfortunate AudiogoN reality: "Expectation bias can be overruled by actual listening experience if one approaches with an open minded attitude." - " ...’good luck with that’...".

For audio, at least, it’s not about electrons. Electrons have absolutely nothing to do with it. It’s about photons. Hel-loo!
What, exactly, is a Photon? As you know...’good luck with that’...

Thanks for the excellent example of Newton’s Third Law: For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.


Speaking of photons and regarding electricity....Interestingly enough, the liquid metal mixture in the Teo Audio cables..just happens to be.... the most wide band high quality reflector known to humanity.

As in: 1) widest chunk of the electromagnetic chart/spectrum reflected... and... 2) highest percentage of reflectivity (as in ’best’ among first surface mirrors)

Besides truly functioning at the quantum level with kinetics and fluid, hydrodynamics and magnetics. More incomplete and unsolved math, theory, and engineering potential than you can swing a billy goat at.

Let's get down to hard fact. 
It's all about "JIGGLING ATOMS" per Richard Feynman.
I'll drink to that.

"The absolute truths can come from anyone".

The Estonian composer Arvo Part had a 'breakthrough" moment
when one snowy morning he asked a street cleaner
"What should a composer do?"
The wise old street cleaner said simply
"Love every note"

Cheers to him-most humbly

I suspect Arvo Part probably misunderstood the street cleaner. What he actually said was, "Love every mote." Get it? Street cleaner. Mote.

Well geoffkait you certainly have a great brand of morning coffee.

I think you just hit see-sharp.
Cheers
