The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

I did and had them right all along. The current flow is from the S to R, which I measured. The other way around sounded not right. Thin and bright with no ease of flow. But you can always give it a try. 

Hi,

I’ve just got 3 SR Purple fuses in my system. I was sceptic but curious enough to try them within a 30 days return policy. And especially now the buy 2 get 3 promotion. 
 

Of course immediately after installing the fuses, I had a listen. There was definitely something going on here. The soundstage was wider and spaciousness was more present. But it sounded thin, lean and with minimal bass performance.

At the 12 hour mark the voices became fuller and warmer. Bass still not deep or expressive. 

Now at the 24 hour mark, the bass started to expand to the lower regions. More weight and powerful. But midrange and bass are a bit flowing into each other’s frequency. A bit to much. They are pressing the higher frequencies out of proportion. Instruments are sounding more real though. But missing that upper sparkle. I’m hoping the highs will get clearer and everything wil open up more. 

Can anyone say anything about the timeline of the burn-in process and sonic differences? 
 

Thanks!

@weisi The Purple has improved. I had 3 of them in different components. 2x Farad Super3 LPS and a Auralic Altair G1 streamer.

I’ve been switching the 3 Purple’s too smooth, smeared, veiled the details and bloated the bass in my setup and preferred the 3 originals, which I couldn’t believe. I had faith in the sound signature of the Purple’s, it’s warmer midrange and bigger soundstage and fuller voices, and switched them up a bit. Eventually I ended up with a original fuse in 1 LPS, 1 Purple in the other LPS and a original in the streamer.

Changing fuses awoke my interest and I was curious about other brands and looked into the QSA Yellow fuse. It’s description of sound should benefit my setup and it did. It made the soundstage bigger and had more dynamic, had tighter bass, and was more reveiling the details with more resolution. After trying all possible combinations and to be sure even went back to stock, the ideal combination to my ears was 1 QSA in my streamer and 1 Purple and 1 stock.
