The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

@ted_denney 

I just changed Purple fuse into my PS Audio BHK Preamp and the sound opened, it was a huge improvement. Other 2 Purple fuses are on the way for PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp  and PerfectWave Transport SACD.

Just one question Ted: why you do not produce 3A value rate fuses?

5x20 mm slow blow series comes only in 2.5A or 3.15A, not a 3A model available from any European dealer.

PS Audio engineer team in Colorado - I already asked them = said that I ABSOLUTELY MUST follow this spec for fuses in my PowerPlant P12 regenerators, only 3A value rate fuses, nothing else nor 3.15A neither 2.5A. It’s the EU schuko version of PSAudio P12, not the US model.

so I cannot use your Purple fuses right into the component which has the best performance in sound quality due to rolling fuses, and especially from your Purple fuses as reported from a lot of forum members here and folks of PS Audio forum.

thank you for your reply and if custom fuses would be available I’d immediately  buy them for sure directly from your factory. I love them after experienced how great they improve SQ in my system, congrats Ted.

happy new year (we all hope!)

Hi Ted,

Hi Geoff,

@thyname 

thank you for your opinion.

as mentioned before, the engineering team of the manufacturer PS Audio informed me by email TO NOT USE OTHER THAN 3A.

In power plant in particular.

they did communicate very clearly,

Thank you Ted,

I appreciate so much your kind answer.

Awaiting news from you as soon as possible, meanwhile happy new year. During these days we must all stay safe with our families, listening to music why not.

Dear Moderator, why did you cancel my previous post answering Ted about P12 model in Europe?

So sorry if I did not respect any rukes here, just tell me which one in particulare from the reason that my post were surely not

thank you, my aim is to understand where I was wrong.

Thank you, I was afraid some misunderstanding occurred. Phew!

The disappeared post was date 30th dec, unfortunately I have forgotten the whole content. Anyway I tried to explain to Ted that EU version of the PS Audio P12 gear has a 3A fuse recommended from manufacturer, so lots of customer in Europe (and maybe Asia) would be happy if a 3A Purple fuse will be on production from SR.

Hope that helps.

Thank you thyname and dabel,

I appreciate so much your opinion. Please let me explain better my thoughts:

I talked to PS Audio team, the manufacturer of the P12. They stated very clear to avoid the 3.15A fuse and stick with the 3A model. It seems that also Ted (even if he thinks the 3.15A would be ok) admits that is better to respect manufacturer recommendations.

At the end I prefer to try the right way: searching for a logical solution! A production of 3A Purple fuse according to SR if possible in order to satisfy a personal need and probably part of the market need (Asian and European customers who want to keep their warranty rights valid).

if SR can produce them, that’s fine otherwise I will search for other brands like QSA that have on catalogue a 3A fuse model.

I love the improvement in SQ that the Purple fuses offer (now I’m using them in other components) and I would like to thank so much Ted for his kind approach reserved to me, awaiting his final decision about production possibility. It means a very customer oriented company and CEO. I think so, also in case he has to decline, I suppose it’s not easy during these difficult days adding products on BOM.

Hope other EU customers can find helpful these posts.

Ok @dabel, send me 2 6.500 euros checks as insurance if something goes wrong to my 2 P12 gears and I’ll certainly do. LOL

Anyway thank you @dabel for your suggestion.
 

Happy new year and stay all safe my friends!

Dear @ted_denney 

I hope you will find the time to verify the possibility to produce the Purple fuse slow blow 5x20mm of the rate 3A following our previous emails.

if not let me thank you anyway for your kindness 

@ted_denney
