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?

^^^ A very good suggestion.  However, I believe in another thread someone posted links to pictures of SR black receptacles that were identical visually to those sold at Lowes, but the SRs were treated with 2,000,000 volts and a graphene coating.  Which is just to say there might not be a visual difference, 
You know, now that I am thinking about it, there are a lot of at least as bright as the average lightbulb people here.  It would be something if we had an actual working scientist in a lab among us who could add a real analysis of what the physical properties are of some of the items we kick back and forth.  Fuses, cables, receptacles.  Kind of get past the physical aspect hurdle up front.
When the electron microscope enters the discussion it usually means it’s time to turn out the lights. That’s almost as funny as when someone took an Intelligent Chip to a metallurgy lab to examine the metal on both sides of the chip for quantum dots. Besides, if the fuse wire were very large as someone suggested the wire would not melt when required. Hel-loo!

Geoffkait: ... most or almost all observable phenomena CAN be explained by current scientific laws or facts. What might be difficult for one person to explain might be a snap for someone else.


+1. A good audio-related example of that can be found in the current thread entitled "Most Important, Unloved Cable," in which several people reported that significant sonic improvements resulted from upgrading ethernet cables that are used in their systems. With the upgrades in most cases being very inexpensive.

A couple of posters, including one who deals with ethernet networking professionally, dismissed that as preposterous, and undoubtedly the result of expectation bias. But for someone who happens to have the right background (me), it was a snap to explain those results. And to explain them in a manner, as I put it in that thread, that is "well within the bounds of established science and engineering." See my post in that thread dated yesterday, 3-27-2017.

BTW, in saying this my intent is certainly not to toot my own horn, but simply to provide a specific audio-related example supporting your comments.


As fate would have it there are many audio related examples that do NOT support my comments, which is why I left a little wiggle room when I said, "most or almost all observable phenomena can be explained by current laws and facts." The humble fuse may actually be one of those examples judging by the demands for electron microscopes. ;-) But more to the point here a short list of audio related devices and tweaks that seem to defy "conventional" explanations, by that I mean current scientific laws or facts. Or else they are ambiguous.
