In the past, I have been a fan of all of the SR fuses. I then went to the QSA yellow fuses. I did not try the SR purple. I had them in all of my components. However, since the end of last year, I have added the Lampizator Horizon, DAC, and Aries Cerat Essentia monoblocks. Curiously, I did not add any boutique fuses to my recent additions.
I had an SR Power One filter plugged into the end of my Inakuatic 3500P Power conditioner to the SR Orange wall outlet. My power cord is the Hijiri Takumi.
I debated whether I would add the boutique fuses to the AC amps and the Horizon. They take 6 and I was thinking about the QSA red or red black. Mike at Tweek Geeks suggested I try the QSA Conditioner plugs instead.
I removed the SR power one filter and installed a QSA Silver plug. I turned my system on and listened to music with my head down reading articles on my computer. About one minute into the first song the change in SQ immediately struck me. I looked up and began to focus on the music and what
I was hearing. The music was crystal clear. Each instrument was very detailed. The vocals were succinct. The soundstage widened. Even the bass was better.
I now listen to more jazz and instrumental pieces because the orchestration is so good now. I am even hearing tiny background instruments that I had never heard before.
I have no idea what QSA does to this cheap-looking plug but for me, it works. I probably am done buying fuses. But I do wonder what would happen if I replaced my SR Orange outlet with a QSA outlet.
