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?

Blah, Blah .... and more Blah.

Has anyone listened to any really good music lately? Just curious.

For me this morning it was Lester Young and some really great home roasted Brazilian coffee.

I’m sorry if I side-tracked this topic but "human clan nature" kind of sums it up.


Not really, ie, the longer a problem is in existence, the more fundamental the error in the creation of the question. Not perfect, but a good premise when looking at the unsolvable. Which gets right back to the theory vs laws aspects.

we be making lots of flippy floppy as humans are on the cusp.

You know..... when asked (about our given projections - which we think are in balance and informed)... "we got both both kinds, country and western.."

I prefer to avoid the personality part but like most... have to deal with it in recognition of what may be going on in the given case. Nor do my comments have meaning in that area, ie subtle jabs or whatnot. Which creates trouble as people sometimes think they are in the text.

Huh? That’s weird. Subtle jabs? Whoa! What do you think is going on?  I mean, aside from my pointing out that electrons, which you went on and on about in your previous post, have precious little to do with the subject of audio, in particular with the audio signal. Why would I attack you personally? I don't even know you.

(one more thing, thanks for the post about outliers in the one thread, it was amusing but the guy is also a very nice person, so a mixed bag.... like life is....)
