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?

Frank, as positive as you are, that will go a long way to a speedy recovery. Having a great sense of humor adds nicely to the mix. 
You're more than halfway back already. Best of luck.

All the best,
Nonoise

O'papa, I would wish you luck but you are not going to need it.  You'll be asking for your laptop to see what going on at the A'gon before you know it.

+1 nonoise. Also if your doc needs anything be sure to have him check with Ted D first. He may have a better version of it already.  I hope you found that funny.

No Worries. Back in the day my dad did two open hearts a day - that was tough and recovery for patients was lengthy. These days with modern techniques it is a walk in the park.

Frank,

You take care of yourself, and rest up.  You'll have a lot of well wishes and good music to keep you company.

As much as I want those Rachmaninov concertos, I want to listen to music with you again even more.

Take care of yourself.

Jason
