lol was just trying to perk this thread up a bit.
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?

Tommylion, I have long considered Brahms' First to be my all-time no. 1 favorite symphony. I don't have the Klemperer, which I understand to be magnificent. But among the various versions I have my favorite is the performance by Jascha Horenstein and the London Symphony, recorded in 1962 and masterfully reissued on a Chesky CD. It is out of print but is available used from various sellers. Performance and sonics are both amazing! Also, Toscanini's remarkable 1940 performance can be listened to and/or downloaded and burned to CD (which I've done) here. The performance is sufficiently captivating that the primitive sonics probably won't matter. They didn't for me, at least. Regards, -- Al |
