QSA : My take on their expensive products
- Thread starter CKKeung
- Start date
Those are deffo not fitting in my fuse holders.
And his look is the look of a guy who was told red was best, then blue...and now it's purple.
Just in case anyone interested. Every single one of them gives different sound.

The magic must Be in those little colored stickers.. nice find, a 10 pack too !Thanks for reporting on these meetings.
You made a choice very much in line with my current interests. Thoughts after weeks of use will be appreciated
Highly interesting! Hecho en México Pass & Syemour is far... very far outside what upstanding audiophiles in the US are into.
I changed more than half of the SR Orange fuses in the system to QSA Yellow/Violet with a big improvement. They are worth the price. It is very economical than replacing the power cable. To my ears, replacing SR Orange -> QSA Violet gives possibly more improvements than replacing SR Euphoria AC -> SR Galileo SX.
Now I'm trying QSA Red for the regenerator.
Your experience with power sockets will help me a lot, as it is not convenient for me to test them.

Thank you for reminding me I'd meant to find a smaller image!
By no means do I think CKKeung is being taken anymore than he claims. Piquant is the term that comes to mind in regards to QSA choosing to use a (Hubbell>Leviton>Legrand/P&S) third tier brand's product to add their dubious enhancements. I can only hope the humor depicting my delightful response to this unexpected twist survived translation.
Best guess is they are using a commercial process some combination of events prevents others from seizing use of (cash grab before larger slower company releases arrive?) . What I really wish to learn from someone using it daily is if the effects wear off over time or, more interesting by far, from lack of heavy use daily. There are numerous possible hints offered.

Just what I said, “cash grab”. There is no better explanation exists, that can be even remotely plausible
I applaud @CKKeung for him being open minded and always trying new things and sharing his experiences with the community ! I don’t venture out as far as many do on here when it comes to this level of esoteric devices. Always learning and being amazed at what’s out there..
I would say there is higher than average chance of plausible reasons that don't exist in many other high end products.
No offense to anyone using/buying these Uber fuses, but really, common sense has to scream that this is a cash grab scheme. The little jewels inserted in the outlet say it all for me.
Expectation bias can have a powerful influence on our perceptions. Unless these are listened to under some kind of un-sighted /controlled conditions, I wouldn’t trust a fuse listening shootout!

Why ? he has as much right to post his opinion in this thread as any other member …
He has no interest in fuse, and did not bother to try any. So the comment is no use. If he tried it and told us these fuse are not useful, then it’s a valid opinion and it will be appreciated.
I bought 4 of the blue. My amps take 2 each. A 3A and a 500mA. Unfortunately my amps blew both the 500mA. Worst part, the small fuse is to the heaters and more integrated in the circuit. Able to influence more.
I did not do any sort of back to back listen. I just put them in. I don't know it made my long term impression to me of better or worse.
I was intrigued by the comments of power cords and what people spend on them. Members seem to faun all over themselves and friends when they spend $5K to $14K for a power cord. I'm not an engineer. I think I'm an open minded electrician/consultant. In my mind, why couldn't a fuse have as much impact as a power cord? And really, show me where power cord manufacturer provide scientific basis for a $8k cord sounding "better" than an $800 one.
I personally find most accessory prices high. Footers, racking, cord, interconnect and speaker cables, receptacles. Even equipment has gone stratospheric. Yet people buy the stuff and seem to find it a benefit. So why not enjoy a $6k fuse if your income allows it. That's great in my mind. Because, come on, my family and friends look at my modest system and shake their heads. To them their Sonos system brings just as much enjoyment to them. And my god, why did one of my friends spend $12k on a bicycle. Whats that all about. He got taken, right.

Purple is the colour of your nuts that the dealers got you by.
