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.

Why would anyone who favors fuses have vitriol for it?

The word vitriol comes from the Latin word vitriolus, meaning "small glass". (perfect description of a fuse)
And then can also mean vitriolic, and so "causes a lot of distress and pain", to those gullible enough who have just spent $$$$$$ on a 10cent fuse.

Okay. Goofy reasoning but okay. But you did not say vitriolum, you said vitriol, the plain meaning of which is cruel and bitter criticism. Alternate meaning, acid.  

As painful as it is the truth is so powerful that to try and stand against it, as you so often do, winds up destroying your credibility. Done too often you risk being seen as a crank at best or worse, a stubborn fool.  

We wouldn't want that now would we?
