The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

Mine took about a week to finally settle down. Phenomenal stuff, though.

The Purple really opens up the mids and highs compared to SR’s Orange fuses.

The Orange fuses were a huge improvement over stock fuses, and the Purple brings even more to the table.

M2CW, anyway.

"I have to tell you that I submitted your lengthy, and somewhat ridiculous, review of the SR Purples to the "Audio Bullsh!t" group, and, so far, 36 commenters have made you quite the laughing stock."

Beautiful.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I doubt very highly that @oregonpapa is going to stay up at night worrying about that....

Love my SR Purple fuse

Best $200 upgrade I ever made.

@jnorris2005 , your post above is one of the most astonishingly immature and childish things I have ever read. Guess you showed him, LOL! *shakes head* WOW.

"I am happy that your $200 fuse made such an improvement in your system.  Now take that one out and put in a $3 Littelfuse and re-evaluate.  Chances are you won't hear a difference."

I've done that. A couple of times, actually.

I can absolutely hear a difference.

If you'd like a demonstration, come on over and bring a six pack. 

We can swap cables back and forth, too. (Won't THAT blow your mind!)

We'll make an afternoon of it.

Gentlemen, let’s try to be cool.

Or we’ll see this wonderful thread that keeps bringing out the best in everyone shut down again. 

I think we can all see what’s going on.

I just don’t understand the motive.

It’s a money-back guarantee. Maybe certain people can’t afford the $200? I have no idea.

Anyway, back to the SR Purple fuses. I have one in my Classe pre-amp. Its sound could be described as gorgeous.

Oranges in my Classe amp and Denon tube CD player.

The overall sound is absolutely glorious.

Everything makes a difference.

If you can’t hear the difference, you are either in the wrong hobby, or need better stuff.

None.

Replace it with the manufacturer's rated fuse.

I've been using SR fuses for a while now, never had an issue. 

@dabel , not sure if that’s allowed (after all, A’gon is trying to sell stuff). If you do a search inside A’gon, you will see ads for the Purple fuses for sale.

A quick Google search will also reveal several retailers. Ted might even list some on the SR website.

@jerrybj , I'm not surprised. 

Selling like hotcakes for a reason, I guess.....

I do need a .63 amp small slow-blow for the tube stage on my Denon, so if anyone upgrades and has an Orange laying around.....let me know.

"1. No idea.

2. To follow, what type of audio equipment do the purple owners have?  Tube/SS? Ultra high end or moderate specs/components?

I'm open to any tweak, but I try to eliminate at least some of the variables to make my results maybe more predictable?

Don't hate on me..I'm just asking a question for personal knowledge.   "

I dunno. I wonder myself what kind of people are using what, and what sounds good to them.

No hating here. 

I like that you seem open-minded, nice change of pace...
