C_avila1, what do you think a different fuse will do for your computer?
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?

Oh dear, no no no, lets not even go there

I tried an SR Black fuse in place of a relatively new fuse ( about 30 hours on the stock fuse). The SR Black sounded a little better. So to me it's not because the stock fuse was degraded over years of use. Still, I think they are way overpriced, especially if they can be mass produced with the graphine, beeswax or nano particles. I have little desire to buy more of them. |
What got me started on fuses was when I blew one in my amp. I replaced it with a standard fuse, and that got me thinking about them as a potential bottleneck to good sound. I then read about the SR blacks, and got one to try. The fuse the black replaced in my amp was new, and I still heard a very significant improvement. |

Was the SR Black inserted in the right direction? |
