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?

geoffkait: George, I bet you and analogluvr actually believe it’s just an ordinary resistor.

Oh yes they are, nothing more ,nothing less. unless they’ve had some sort of voodoo spell cast on them, they are just plain Pacific brand power resistors.

And all this means what? That Bybee is a crook? That his products are not quantum mechanical but ordinary plain resistors and whatever? That the Bybee reviews are rigged? That this Bybee stuff is nothing more than placebo effect and expectation bias? That everyone except you is delusional? That it’s group hypnosis? All of the above?

You said it Geoff, not me?
Just like Saun Mook and his black pucks, and reverse-able $$$$ fuses here.
Pure voodoo that has no laws of electronics for any backup to claims whatsoever, just expectation bias.

Georgie old bean, let's put things into their correct perspective, shall we? I've forgotten more electronics than you ever knew. Assuming you ever knew any.

Ok a simple test, must be done in the next 1min a source has an output dc bocking cap of 10uf, it seeing the input impedance of the next stage of 50kohm, what is the -3db point in hz?
