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?

I know someone who swears by this stuff. He’s painted the entire interior of his electronics, tubes, caps ... the whole nine yards ...  and even the speaker "baskets."

There’s also the audiophile C37 violin lacquer from Germany for painting capacitors, speaker drivers, printed circuit boards, fuses, wires, etc. 🎻

My Mother (age 93) is looking forward to auditing the Blue fuse in her new Nelson Pass amplifier !

I am looking forward to a "well done- son " reply from my Mother when she hears the effects of the new fuse.

The SR BLUE fuses are transformative. I’ve only heard the results in my system, but I’m left shaking my head. The system truly disappears leaving only the performers in the room.

And this is what concerns me, again. An accurate system should not just disappear, but transport you to the recorded/created location. If it sounds like it's in your room, you have colored your system. There is of course nothing wrong with this, as everyone should make their system sound as they enjoy.
