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?

To all the annoying sceptics who have posted in this thread with absolutely no firsthand knowledge of the SR fuse:

Remember when you upgraded your speakers? You fool! It changed nothing! 

Remember when you bought a better CD player? You fool! The shiny new faceplate convinced you that it sounded better.  It changed nothing!

Remember when you ditched your cheap turntable for a more audiophile-grade analog source?  You fool!  It changed nothing!

Remember when you carefully positioned your speakers in order to create the best listening experience?  You wasted your time!

Room treatments?  Snake oil!

What?  No more cassette tapes? 

...I just wasted my time writing this, and wasted the time of many who might take the time to read my post.  Sorry.  I just get tired of people, who, from their self-proclaimed position of superiority, lecture the rest of us in order to convince us that we are not hearing the sonic improvements that we clearly hear. Please get a life!
