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?

have a question- why when I check with my manuf. they  say do not change the fuse- It will void warranty and does not affect the sound- It only seems that way because people spent $$ on the fuse-?? Seems like way to many folks here whose opinions I trust have noticed improvement with these fuses=thks
guys= quick burn in question- Just got the black fuse for my preamp- can I just leave the pre on to burn in or do I have to have sound through the whole system- would rather not keep everything running if I do not have to to burn in pre- thanks so much-
guys- My amps take a 3.2 amp 250 volt slow blow- But they are the larger size fuse- Seems all the 250V are the smaller size- Can I use the 500 Volt fuse even though my current fuse is a 250 volt??- thanks- Do they make a larger size 250 volt- 
guys quick question which may have been answered in this long thread- can I burn in the fuses on my cable cooker by attaching a wire to each end of the fuse and then through the cable cooker or will that not send the right signal- thanks
