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?

Hi, guys.  

I'm one who doesn't care how something works,  only that it does.  With that said,  earlier on in this thread I  mentioned that I'm a "tester" for a  product that in my opinion will be a real game changer in the Audio industry.   I can't say much at this point other than we can forget all of the usual catch words like  clarity, focus, tonal balance and replace them all with one word  .... REAL. It addresses a previously unthought of detriment to sound reproduction.  That's about all I can say at this point, other than when you hear what it does you're going to have to have it. Even the naysayers will be left in awe. No joke..

I tried one when they first came out, I think it was 3 years ago, with in a couple of months, I went to 15 of them. There is a old thread about these
which I found helpful. Consensus was the best placement was across terminals in the back of gear. I found that to be the case as well. I also have the room neutralizers as well, and they are a even bigger effect.
perfectpathtech,

I gather you are talking about the original Quantum Signal Enhancer, which is intended for external use in one’s system? The iQSE came out pretty recently, and is intended for use inside components. It has double-sided tape on one side to fix it to an internal service. I was planning on putting it inside my DAC, but found it worked great placed on top of my Tara Labs Powerscreen power strip. Apparently, the iQSE has a greater effect than the the QSE:

I don’t know for sure, as I haven’t compared them. All I know is that I love what the iQSE does.
I've been emailing about the iQSE with Chris Johnson, president of The Parts Connexion.  They are now stocking the new, final version of the iQSE.  I ordered three of them an hour ago.  I'm planning one each for my disc player, preamp and amp.  Should be fun...
