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?

Jond,
You seem to enjoy jazz guitar as much as I do. Are you familiar with Doug Raney? Take a listen to "You Go To My Head " Raney can really play!

Hi Jond, 
Our tastes are pretty similar so I thought you'd appreciate Doug Raney.  His dad Jimmy Raney was also a very fine jazz guitarist. I'll say it again,  there is so much beautiful music for us to enjoy,  what a gift.

Charles indeed we have very similar tastes in music and audio as well I believe. So lined up next is Doug with his dad Jimmy on "Nardis".
