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.

Ordered a yellow for my EAR 868 preamp. 
My first "designer" fuse.
I've used other tweaks discussed here with great success. 
Will report back with results

When you get your Violet fuse, can you report back how it compares to the yellow?

Much appreciated 
My yellow fuse, for my EAR 868PL arrived this weekend.  I've got about 5 hours on it. The sound quality improvement is stunning.  I'm now considering trading up to either the purple or red. 

Shout out to the forum members who actually try a product and report back with their experiences. 
I'm waiting for my violet fuse and yellow fuse.
The violet is for my EAR868 PL preamp. 
The yellow is for my Ayon CD2s CDP.
Will report back when received.
