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.

"Applies in the USA, too."

Not true, a fire is covered regardless of cause (except arson
by the building owner). If the offending fuse was installed by
a third party, the insurance company might have legal recourse
to recover their payout.

Under your logic, if you left the bacon
on the stove unattended and it started a kitchen fire there
would be no coverage. Wrong!

And in the meantime, and back on topic ... as the prototype fuses continue their break-in process, the audio system continues to improve.

Last night’s listening session was spectacular. I was listening to some jazz played on a Hammond B3 Organ. Incredible tubey midrange in a very good way.

Another LP I played last night was a gift from Mister Golden Ears ... a Japanese import of a guitarist playing Japanese folk music in the style of a Koto. It was fantastic and in the room. I find the unique rhythm patterns of Japanese music played on Kotos to be beautifully fascinating. I can’t tell you anything about the album because the cover and liner notes are all in Japanese, and I don’t speak the language.

So, that led me to take out the Bud Shank/Koto album. It was the best I’ve ever heard this album sound. Lots of air and three-dimensionality. It was as though the Koto player was sitting just behind and to the left of the left speaker. Superb playing by both Bud Shank on flute and by Kimio Eto the Koto player.

PS: I listened until 1:30 in the morning, and believe it or not, nothing caught on fire. :-)
Improvement over improvement over improvement over improvement over....  One begins to wonder where the system started out from to allow for so much....

Just let us know when you reach instant eargasms.
