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?

^^^ Thanks, Charles. I'll check them out.

Mapman sez:

" OP I know you are just joking but discounting engineers does not help. You’d have no sound at all in your home without them. Are you defending lack of information? "

Mapman ...  I have nothing against engineers. Some of my best friends are engineers ... :-)   

And by the way Mapman ... I, for one, do not want you to leave this thread. I enjoy your sense of humor. You don't indulge in personal attacks, nor do you insult people. A difference of opinion, and a civil discourse regarding the same, is a good thing ... its the way we learn. 

Again, this thread is like a bunch of like minded guys sitting around the local bar discussing a common interest.  Every once in a while "someone" has a little too much amber liquid and gets out of hand. Once sobered up, we all hope "he" comes back at a later date and will be civil. So far ... no luck.

Or maybe setup another forum for non-believers, like Audio Asylum does with Propeller Head Plaza."

If you think Propeller Head Plaza attracts the non-believers wait’ll ya get a load of Isolation Ward.  😎
