Today I compared orange and yellow colors on Classe monoblocks (biamping medium/high) - a difficult choice. The Yellows won, but by a small margin. More dynamics and detail. But at medium frequencies, they are inferior in musicality to orange ones.
The following test is designed for Sotm UsbUltra and OCX10 (Paul Hynes SR5 power supply). At this point, the QSA easily blew away the orange SR in all aspects. Surprisingly, for the Lumin U1 (and the Paul Hynes SR5 power supply) I like orange now. I changed yellow to Purple, I will burn for a couple of days

In my system, I realized that I would have to do fuse tests separately for each component. 

My preferences after warming up QSA fuses (300h continuously), compared to my Orange:

Classe M300 power amp (biamp mid/high). With Yellow, there are not big, but pleasant improvements.

Classe CP-700 pre-amp. There is no winner. I chose Yellow, because I hope that they will not burn here like SR.

Lumin U1 & Paul Hynes SR5 PSU. I am very surprised, but Yellow and Purple did not bring significant changes.

Sotm clock (feeds Esoteric G-01 and D-02 DAC, USBultra, Switches) and USBultra & Paul Hynes SR5 PSU. A strong performance jump with QSA Yellow and then with Purple. Without Purple, life goes out of music. In this place, I will test Red.

PS Audio P10 (feeds SR SX PowerCell). Switching to Yellow has made the biggest contribution to the sound of my system. It is comparable to replacing the USD3000 cable with USD6000. I order Red.

Which outlet did you change to red? Have you tried a fuse for a dedicated line?
