Quantum Science Audio Thread

Tim Mrock was ahead of his time. His stuff was and is awesome. But nobody keeps great stuff like that secret for long. Lots of people are on to it now. NPS1260, what do you think that is? SR fuses and outlets, the glob of gray goop they tell you not to remove, what do you think that is? I'll give you a hint, the top end QSA Red and Black fuse uses so much they had to stick a piece on the side.

Millercarbon are you saying the key to these fuses is amount of 'special secret sauce' contact enhancer applied?

I always thought SR and new guys like this Quantum were using some kind of voltage conditioning process on the fuses, and the fuse price/level was just the amount of time that fuse spent on the conditioning device.

But if the key is contact enhancer, then it becomes easier for DIY to replicate.

tyray & others,

Please don’t argue with, or try to convince, George on this thread. He is completely close minded, and it will only aid him in his avowed purpose, which is shutting down threads like this.

"voltage conditioning process" ??????


Wouldn't surprise me if Synergistic Research and  Quantum Science Audio, are one in the same, now that SR has fallen from favor and Quantum is the new cheaper snake oil fuser on the block.

All that the members need to know that are thinking of buying into this fuse snake oil is

A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote). 

I ask what can be done to that 10mm of fuse wire, by these companies that have no technical credibility at all

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 FUSERS ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!

Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)

Cheers to those "non fusers" George

George, have you actually tried any "audiophile" fuses?

Any at all?

Guess your ears can’t hear what mine do.

5 post and with attitude?? Ya gotta earn that privilege here sunshine

I'm a little late to this party, but I can attest that adding 2 SR Orange fuses
(1 to my preamp, and 1 to my amp) literally left my jaw hanging open.

Really "jaw hanging open", you must be the latest fueser shill recruit
