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?

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

Graphene is a two dimensional material one ( count em) molecule in thickness. If anyone is suspending Graphene in something it ain't really Graphene anymore, is it? For example, the super strength of Graphene is a characteristic of the sheet of Graphene not the individual molecules or groups of molecules of graphite or whatever. By the way, teeny tiny tweezers and scissors are needed to even handle and cut the stuff. ✂️

Laminar flow? Well, we obviously don’t want any turbulent flow in the listening room. Or anything breaking the sound barrier. 😛

You dont know. Some things in your room do travel faster than the sound barrier. Just need to know their identity and how to deal with them..Tom
