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.

Hey I was wrong also. Pulled my Blackhawk out of the rack and there is a fuse below the PC inlet. Also on my 3.1 the bypass switch is revised simple on off. 
Sorry Chuck I am wrong and will own it. 
Cheers.

When you little scamps get together you're worse than a sewing circle. 
Props to whoever can find the clip.
@glory I never run. Not in my makeup. When I am wrong I own it and will apologize. I honestly did miss that when installing my raven. Only part of the manual a read was on the tube install. 
My bad and I did a own it.

Now let’s move on and look forward to @millercarbon review of his new Blackhawk and we’ll his fuse. 
I also owe the dude at Tweek Geeks an apology, he did know what fuse and did his homework unlike me. And I own 2 Blackhawks….
