NEW PROTOTYPE FUSES COMING >>>

I’ve been asked to evaluate/beta test some new fuses that will be coming out soon. I should have them as soon as this coming Saturday.

At this point:

1. I cannot reveal the name of the manufacturer of the fuses.
2. I do not know what the retail price will be.
3. I do not know what the name of the fuse will be.

For comparison purposes, I have a full complement of SR Orange fuses that can be used throughout the system. I have one QSA Yellow fuse now being used in my ARC-PH8 phono stage, with another one to arrive soon to be used in my ARC REF-75se.

I’ll be comparing the SR Orange fuses, and the QSA fuses, with the new prototype fuses. I’ll also be using the ears of three of my well-seasoned audiophile friends, as well as my own to make the evaluations. These guys are all truth-tellers that I have full confidence in.

According to the manufacturer, these new fuses are real game-changers, so stay tuned.

The new prototype fuses arrived in yesterday’s mail. For last night’s listening session, I replaced the SR Orange fuse in the line stage with one of the new prototypes. The results? ... It killed the SR Orange fuse in every respect. There was a BIG improvement in overall clarity from top to bottom. And the midrange ... the midrange ... Zowie!

I’m looking forward to tonight’s listening session. I will be replacing the QSA Yellow fuse in the phono stage with one of these new prototypes. If what I heard on the line stage last night is any indication, I think the midrange abnormality I talked about previously with the QSA Yellow fuse will most likely be further evidenced.

Stay tuned ...

Do you have any actual evidence that the QSA fuses improve sound quality, or do you just know it does?

The proof is in the listening. Come on over and hear it for yourself. a/b fuse comparisons are easy to do on my rig.

It killed the SR Orange fuse in every respect.

So transparent.

Of course it did, that was going to be a given
There’s ulterior rewards to say it did, and nothing to reap if it didn’t.
And then to s w with everyones head😜 to make things look legit, you’ll do a reversal on that, so the other fusee will reward you for a few more months.

jetter,

There is a difference between making veiled accusations and describing what one hears.
