Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle


I just saw Synergistic Research (SR) released a Purple UEF Duplex receptacle. I was wondering if anyone has been able to test one, and if so,  does it have the same sonic impact as the SR Purple fuses. Personally, I use Quantum Science Audio (QSA) fuses and have been very pleased with all the different levels I’ve bought and tested. I bought two Purple fuses and returned them because I thought the QSA Yellow sounded better in my system. I liked the SR Purple a lot but they did not have the detail the QSA fuse brought to my system. Since then, I’ve upgraded to QSA Violet fuse in my Atoll IN300 and it is less bright, way more detailed with improved soundstage and separation over. 
 

I was thinking about buying the QSA Red receptacle but after seeing the new SR Purple receptacle (which is about $500 cheaper) I became intrigued. So my question is, has anyone tested the SR Purple receptacle, and if so, how do you like it? 
 

thanks for your time and consideration.

@stevebobnii ---when you think about it spending $1k for a fuse is not silly if you get good results. How much do you pay for PC’s? Interconnects? Speaker Cables? Just because it is a tiny component does not mean it can not impact your sound to a large degree.

I have an SR Orange duplex outlet. Does it do anything? Out of all my components / tweaks, I find that to be the hardest to determine the benefit. I thought about going to the QSA Duplexes but would rather buy a QSA red instead. I have all QSA yellow in my components now. I had SR orange. In my system. QSA yellow was better than Orange. I have not tried SR purple. I may put a Red in my Lampizator DAC and Lucas Audio Music server. I may add the SR purple to my mono amps, but I wonder, should you stick with all the same brand? Or, is it ok to mix and match fuses? How will you know which fuses are really making the impact on your system then?

In summary, IMO, I would rather invest in the fuse rather than the duplex box.
