The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

wow, talk about how good the purple fuse is and the post gets removed.

After living with the Purple fuses for quiet some time, I took all of them out from my system. Not sure if it’s my system but for some reason the Purple sounds a bit artificial for my taste - sometimes the soundstage is forward and brash with some recordings. Thought it was the direction and on reversing it, it immediately sounded better than the previous direction. This time I thought I had it right with the direction and it sounded good until I hear the same sound signature after couple of days. I did the direction business back and forth couple of times and finally gave up. Right now I have all stock fuse and though it doesn’t have the “bigger sound staging and details” effect of the purple, it at least sounds natural.

@twoleftears yes, I am aware of littlefuse but have never tried one. Interestingly, their Gold and Rodium series, which would have been the preferred one for audio, is not stocked in any reputable electronics store and there is a minimum quality of order to get these. The regular 285 series are cheap enough to warrant an audition though. I plan to order some. Thanks for the pointer.
