Surprised by Synergistic Red Fuse on Source for 99

Lewinskih01 - My Amps only has internal fuses. Same as my Meitner MA1 DAC and the PS Audio DAC and transport.

I own the Merrill Audio Veritas monos.

The RED Fuses IMHO and limited experience with just the Amps are NOT subtle, for just a fuse. They were easier to hear the improvement then many other tweaks I have tried, many with no or barely any improvement.

Replace the internal fuse for the best gain.

Like I said, I hope to one day put them in my Meitner DAC, also only internal.

By the way, I have never had a fuse blow and do not no any of my Audiophile buddies who had one blow so if I was you I would not give it much thought. And that is what they are there for anyway. KNOCK ON WOOD!!

Charles1dad - The RED is So much better the the Quantum. 30 day money back, nothing to loose.

I must say I found the RED fuse more of an improvement then the Cardas Caps. Not that the Caps did not help.

Hifial,
You guys posting here have persuaded me. Saying that they improve upon the Quantum is noteworthy as these have been beneficial in my system.
Charles,

OP-

not difficult to understand. We all know that these hi-fi companies (most) will cut every corner and place junk parts in our gear. This is the impetus for better, aftermarket, parts and supplies. Very cool projects going on out there by modders/DIYs, happy listening.

We all have different systems and environments but not in my system. Most obvious improvements are any glare are eliminated, smoother mid/high and easier to decipher lyrics in complex passages.

One example is Mary Chopin Carpenter, Time Sex Love. Heard it on many EXPENSIVE system. It's a horrible recording, harsh and glaring. After installing the caps, glare was gone and no harshness. I guess it was cause by noise?

I bought caps for every component, amp, pre and dac. Cardas RCA non shorting pin, Cardas XLR output caps and AQ XLR input caps with no shorting pin. I use copper sheet to cover connectors that don't have caps. ie USB, I2S ...
