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?

Thank you, Tom (Theaudiotweak). Based on your input I was able to find the patents listed here that have been granted to Mr. Denney, under his own name.

However, as far as I can see none of them appear to be related to fuses.

Regards,

Wait a minute…can you replace your fuses with tennis racquets?  On a positive note I do like Sherwin Williams paint though…good stuff. My contention has always been that in spite of "special" "directional" fuses supposedly helping technology march on toward audio nirvana, I'm again reminded that a fuse is there to melt if needed. That's it. Melt. Like Ted Denney's imaginary patent claims…blown like a bad circuit.

Al, 

The patent of Bud Purvine has several valid benefits to laminar flow across either a moving surface (cone) or one that's stationary..like a wall. Tom

theaudiotweak, Hey Tom in response to your second to last post, very soon something is coming out for you to try on those nickle plated ends!
I am pretty sure anyone who uses it is going to be really shocked at what it does. For the sake of pure transparency, I know this because it is going to come out of my workshop. Please be a little more patient I promise it will be worth the wait. I honestly thought it would be out by now, but everything has to be perfect or a no go. Product is set, just a few more loose ends to deal with.

Very cool...can I also apply this solution to the battery terminals of my hybrid? Keep me in the loop. Tom
