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?

Actually I believe that the hearing has improved.  Before the surgery,  I could hear a pulse in the left ear  ... swish, swish, swish.  That's all gone now. Even with the swishing I could hear the direction of the fuses  *lol*

Hi Frank.

I'm very happy to know that your surgery was successful and you're recovering well. I know you can't wait to listen to your music/system again.

Glad to have you back Frank. Your ears must be quite acute if you could hear the blood flowing from a faulty valve. No one here can now question your aural acuity!

As for the donor of you new aortic valve, you're in great company since Arnold Schwarzenegger had the same model installed in his heart as well. Just don't do any action movies for a while. 😃😃

All the best,
Nonoise
