Well, getting back to little black fuses, a few days ago i received 2 . 1 for pre, one for cdp, and i must say that i am somewhat disappointed...that i can't(wont) return them. I had no intention of paying $240. for some silly little fuses. I was sceptical, and wanted to prove it to myself, but they do provide an improvement! So this fool is parted from his money. I had every intention of returning them after trying them, never thinking that a "fuse" would have an impact in SQ, but must admit i was proven wrong and will keep them.
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 ...
