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?

In another nutshell, just because it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't work for me, and you shouldn't be critical of me it it does work for me.

Great post sns!
I like the thread as it covers a wide range of views and opens up our minds to areas worth considering and contemplating. 

For those who are interested, agon member ozzy got a sample bottle of the Mad Scientist Graphene Contact Enhancer and is currently testing it.

Folks, please forgive me if this has been asked and answered but I just got a pair of Magnepan MMGs and fuse rating is 3 AG - 4 Amp maximum. Should I get the 3.15A or 4A SR Red fuse? I assume it's Fast Blo but it doesn't specify. Also any input from MMG owners would be much appreciated.
Thanks..
Hello Kalali,

"3AG" is not a current rating.  It defines the fuse as being glass and having a physical size of 6.3 x 32 mm (1/4 x 1-1/4 inches).

Beyond that, I have no knowledge of what the MMG may require.

Good luck.  Regards,
