Quantum Science Audio light blue fuse; $71, what a bargain!

I wanted to start a new thread about the more affordable versions of these fuses. I don’t doubt that the higher end versions are amazing, but most of us aren’t very likely to be able to hear them for ourselves. Fortunately, pretty much anyone who is serious about building a musically enjoyable and engaging system can get a good taste of what they’re all about.


I’ve had the light blue QSA fuses ($71) in my CD transport and DAC for over two weeks, now. They replaced SR blue fuses, at around twice the price, and easily bettered them. I am expecting one more light blue tomorrow, to replace an SR orange in my amp. I’ll give an update on that, once I get it installed and listen.


Meanwhile, here are a couple quotes from my posts on the other thread:


“What I am hearing is; voices & instruments are more solid and lifelike, with increased natural detail and sense of space, better dynamics, and a more relaxed overall sound.”


“Just got in a second light blue fuse for my DAC. So far, more of the same improvements I got in my CD transport. Very nice!😃 One thing I appreciate is the break in seems to be pretty quick, without any of the nasties you get with some other stuff. Pop it in, and you’ll hear improvements in short order, at least that’s been my experience.”


I am continuing to greatly enjoy what these fuses bring to my system, and am really looking forward to getting the last one in my amp.

lemonhaze,
Sorry no I didn't.  Are you saying you have done this and it works well?
It seems like clever tweakers could install a high end breaker in place of the fuse.

@georglofi you have been around awhile, do you not get tired of instantly pouncing on every fuse thread??? Very tiresome.

Only if "snake oilers" are promoting them for "snake oil" companies that secretly sponsor them with their products.
As a 10cent fuse given away to them is reaped in rewards if/when only one sale has to come in for $71 each.

And because even if you had one iota of electronic knowledge you’d know this ** needs to be stamped out of the industry

Oh dear, another know-it-all … I do wish Audiogon would add an ignore option to deal with irritating gadflies.

Yes and one look at your last page of posting history shows you are a "voodooist" that can only comment on "snake oil" products, without 1 iota of electronic knowledge to present to backup your comments.
