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?

I have no idea why, but the Purple fuse I installed the other day on my Innuos ZENith MK3 worked wonders. Shocking actually. A more audible difference than even experimenting with several expensive power cords for my Innuos unit. The fuse is one of things that should not make any difference at all, conceptually, but yet, it does.

Yes, the directionality can be confusing, but really no problem with Innuos, as they have a very good instructions page in fuses in their webpage: https://innuos.com/kb/replacing-the-fuse-on-innuos-products/

@lucapelliccioli  --- I am not in EU, but here in US, it will practically be zero issues with getting a 3.15A fuse for something that has a 3.00A original fuse. 

so lots of customer in Europe (and maybe Asia) would be happy if a 3A Purple fuse will be on production from SR

 

And I am pretty sure that all these customers in Europe and in Asia are pretty much enjoying their units with a 3.15A fuse 😂

 

I already told you that there are absolutely zero issues with using a 3.15A fuse instead of 3A. But again, it's up to you to do it, or not.

 

@nutty : what a coincidence, I paid a few days ago for a brand spanking new Jay’s Audio CDT3 MK3. It will likely take some time to arrive from China. However, I already inquired and obtained the fuse specifics for it, which as you know, is owner replaceable. I have used SR fuses with good results in the past, with other equipment, Blue, then Orange, then Purple. However, this time around, I will get the Swiss Fuse Box instead, which is in a whole different level with my Innuos ZENith MK3. https://verafiaudiollc.com/products/best-audio-products/swiss-digital-fuse-box-52299809
 

Just as an alternative. But of course, you will be happy with the SR fuses too

@nutty : you are welcome. There a couple of threads here on the Swiss Digital Fuse Box, the longest of which, with a detailed excellent review by its OP is in the link below:
