It is all the same story, just nobody wants to believe it. Study all my posts, figure it out. Bonus, if you do study them all you will instantly become the second most well-informed person here. Even so, I cannot guarantee you will be able to figure it out. But take my word for it, the info is all there.
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.

Hey folks, it's only a $71 dollar item. Where did all the nannies come from? Instead of lining up like good little trolls, all you have to do is peruse the forums. It's all there, including all the lame comments. You're contributing nothing new and skipping the first thing about science: direct observation. If you have any doubts, it means you have to see/hear for yourself. Stop being intellectually lazy and relying on all the heavy lifting being done by someone else, so you can point to some generic manual like it's the bible. It makes you look silly. All the best, Nonoise |
The yellow I ordered for my Audio Note el84 amp came when the light blue did. I didn’t install it initially so I could get a handle on the light blue and what it was doing with my dac. I have a AM beeswax premium fuse in the el84 amp and the yellow didn’t have as big of a jump as the light blue did on the SR Orange but still thought it was a nice improvement. Both the SR Orange and AM beeswax had Total Contact enhancer on them and after applying it to both the light blue and yellow they’re definitely an upgrade over the previous fuses. I have another yellow coming for a class d amp so the tube amp can rest during this heat wave in the southwest, or as we call it in AZ....summer. |
OK I wrote one post & deleted it . I have little or no doubt of @tommylion description. I have been as much a skeptic as anyone. But I’m not willing to guess about it like most of the naysayers. To know is to experience. So I tried an Oyaide R1 AC outlet @ $165. I felt rather foolish doing it but I needed an outlet anyway for my dedicated circuit. So, what the heck,, I’ve wasted $$ before and education costs $$$. I installed it & ran current through it for break in. When I turned on my stereo I heard a good difference for the better. I kinda felt embarrassed for even hearing it sound better. How can this be? Its just an AC outlet. Then there is the story of the pumice stone under my CD player. Then power cords. Then the ridiculous pads under my equipment which made a BIg difference. There are things that take place that I don’t understand. But just because I don’t understand it, does NOT make it any less real. That said, I am somewhat troubled when I see a $2877 fuse. Funny though, I seem to understand a $$2.5 million Bugatti Veyron that requires a $40k tire change when needed. Bias is a funny thing that all men suffer.

tommylion OP >>> Isn't it interesting that you started a new thread about your experiences with a new tweak, hoping to turn others on to what you've discovered, only to have the Negative Nellies, and Debbie Downers come out of the woodwork to mount their ignorant attacks? My take is ... they have no idea what you have done to your system to gain the resolution you, and others have achieved. Those of us who have gained that level of resolution fully understand. It is their loss, not ours. Thanks for trying the new fuse and for bringing the information to the rest of us. Take care ... Frank |
jafant, My modest CD based system currently consists of the following: audiolab 8000CDM CD transport Audio Note DAC Kit 1.1 NOS tube DAC Antique Sound Lab T1 passive autoformer preamp Antique Sound Lab Tulip stereo 2A3 SET amp Audio Note AN-E-L speakers These components are supported by numerous accessories, tweaks and mods, that I have found essential to getting the best out of them over the years. I am always looking for new ways to improve their performance. My goal is to get as much of the life, energy, engagement and enjoyment, that I find in live music, out of my CD collection as possible. My musical tastes cover a wide variety of genres; rock, pop, classical, classic jazz, folk, classic country, bluegrass, Christian, Irish, Celtic et al. Basically, good music is good music, regardless of the style. |
