Synergistic Red Fuse ...

I installed a SR RED Quantum fuse in my ARC REF-3 preamp a few days ago, replacing an older high end fuse. Uhh ... for a hundred bucks, this little baby is well worth the cost. There was an immediate improvement upon installation, but now that its broken in (yes, no kidding), its quite remarkable. A tightening of the focus, a more solid image, and most important of all for my tastes, a deeper appreciation for the organic sound of the instruments. Damn! ... cellos sound great! Much improved attack on pianos. More humanistic on vocals. Bowed bass goes down forever. Next move? .... I'm doing the entire system with these fuses. One at a time though just to gauge the improvement in each piece of equipment. The REF-75se comes next. I'll report the results as the progression takes place. Stay tuned ...

Any comments from anyone else who has tried these fuses?

Charles 1Dad, thanks for the reply!  Thats the quick, to the point, constructive response.  

I have a Peachtree 220se right now: where would I install this fuse? 

I'll give it a shot if it will work in my application!

Im confused how a thread about a fuse is the main topic here at audiogon lately... and in the pre amp amp section and not tech?  I believe in tweaks but I've never seen something so blah and boring get so much coverage.  How can someone possibly talk so much about fuses?  I'd read about caps but not this...
