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.

I took out my stock fuses and painted them light blue.

AMAAAZING sound quality improvement.
I'm over the moon.
The light blue paint cost $3.95.  It is a bright light blue, about Gulf tone.
If you send me $20, I will mail you the rest of the can.

""To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products you have.
AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH THESE FUSERS, EVER!!! ""

Tyray, the fuse closest to the IEC is the AC fuse.  It should also be marked 5A AC fuse. 
I had a dream last night that all of the A'gon naysayers came over for a listening session. It was quite a crowd. Instead of listening to music, they all sat around discussing equations and slew rates. I  had to leave the room for a moment and when I came back they were all gone ... and they stole all of my records. My very first thought was ... what in the hell are they going to do with the records??
