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.

Georgie,
Please read and try try real hard to comprehend with an open mind...
Fuses measure differently in either direction that is why they sound different in orientation, 60hz can see resistance.

Also Paul has been around and building equipment for decades Listen to his comments....

And
This quote says it all, to bad these close minded people continue to pollute the community and ad Nothing positive.. this is why the world is like it is now days.
“Less harmless are those audio enthusiasts who are least secure: those whose toxic rage at a world that does not accept the authority of their opinions—a world that persists in enjoying recorded music in ways of which they do not approve—accomplishes nothing other than making our hobby seem repellent.”

--Art Dudley

Also if you have not tried or listened to any of the other fuses out there You do not have an OPINION, if your so smart you should understand this?
Or maybe not .
Cheers Tom

From QSA website translated :

Wrong fuse direction it will too sound very harsh and bright with a rough overall quality. Sound is harder, brighter, thinner with much more hash.

Who else tried these fuses and what were their impressions?

The wrong fuse direction will make the sound sound very harsh and bright, and the overall quality is poor. The sound is harder, brighter, thinner, and more hashed.


Who else has tried these fuses and how are the sound effects?



Quote from Georgehifi:

""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 THESE FUSERS, EVER!!! ""

@nonoise 
Do you think the video I attached to his quote will pacify him?

It did answer all his statements about manufacturers engineers and actual use in production units..
the silence will be welcome to this thread, and lets talk about the topic originally started.
