Yes, My Papa. Me, either. So much so that I ordered 3. I kept deleting the 4th one from the order. It was a 5A fuse that I was going to put into the PS Audio. I had to remind myself to test only the NAD, although I looked at the CJ preamp, longingly beaming telepathic thoughts at it: "Couldn’t you, wouldn’t you....like to be Blue along with me?????" But then I head the voice of God (Lew Conrad or Bill Johnson) from the past, saying we’ve never found another fuse that works as well as the ones we use in our components. Hearing the voice of God makes one crumble. Defeated, I did not order fuses for the ET3 preamp, although I cried bitter tears at God, saying "...but isn’t it even remotely possible...there could be even more Light??" God did not answer and I did not want to tempt his wrath, so virginal shall the ET3SE remain. But some day...I mean, after all, I put the EAT 88 tube in the CJ and it - and I - have not yet exploded from the wrath of GOD. And I looked for where the 3rd fuse is located in the CJ (God hid it), so I was defeated by the fact that it was not visible to my fading mortal eyes. Besides that, it is well after 3 a.m. and there I was on my knees in front of the CJ instead of reclining in my bed. And so didst I retire. I shall diminish and fade into dreams, filled with images of Blues skies, Blue birds, Blue Oceans, Blue Fish and Blue fuses...
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 ...
