The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses


This thread is intended for those who are actually using the new SR Purple Fuses. In my system, they are a significant improvement over the SR Orange fuses. What are your impressions?

Purple is working really well for me vs. Orange in my Nordost QB-8 power distributor and my BHK preamp. It;s a long break-in, but mostly all good, and sometimes spectacularly so.

I'm really happy with them and I'll be buying more...

My first two are fully broken-in and my system is sounding really amazing. I swore I would wait for a three for two deal before I bought any more, but yesterday I broke down and ordered one to replace the Orange Fuse in my DAC...

Added a third Purple to my system, this time in my PS Audio DirectStream DAC replacing an Orange. My system is sounding better than ever, however I also violated the one change at a time rule and added 3M RFI absorber material in strategic places at the same time.

I'm guessing that much of the improvement is from the fuse, but that's just a guess. Since you have to open the DAC to get to the fuse (and it's a PITA), I opted to do both mods at the same time.

 

Happy camper, though only 24+ hours in...
