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?

The issue is this: People new to our hobby might read this thread in the future and get hopelessly caught up in your nonsense, spending ludicrous amounts of money on BS, fuses being the thin edge of the wedge. Your stance is unethical.

I appreciate those who may be skeptical of the differences people are hearing with these fuses, but still make worthwhile contributions to this thread.

Then there are those who live under bridges...

Geoff, like I say, I appreciate your sense of humour, but it's costing people money. Stop it.

Uberdrone, I’m as serious as a colonoscopy without anesthesia.
