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 now have a complete loom of the SR Purple fuses and couldn't be happier. Anyone else have all SR purple fuses?

Hi Ozzy, I agree--the Purples are much better than Orange.  I put four Purples in my Maggie 3.6R's, and the improvements are stunning.  I have used SR Red, Black, Blue, Orange and now, Purple in my Maggies and AC mains of ARC amps and CD Player and subs--nine places in total. I have always oriented fuses the same way via the writing on the fuse.  A thing I have, though, is that I always put fuses in once, and I can always hear the improvements, so I do not switch them around. I do not want to lose the magic, so I say, "This has to be right."  Some say the wrong way is very noticeably wrong.  I always hear 'noticeably great', so I leave them as is.   Am I just lucky, or is there a degree of improvement with wrong orientation and a much higher degree with the right orientation?  

I also would like to add that I found using the SR Master/Purple combo to be much better sound quality wise than using the QSA red/black fuse. and at a much cheaper price! The QSA did tighten up the image, but it lost the depth/feeling.

@jafreeman The SR fuses' high freq are attenuated when inserted the wrong way. I know because I've tried them all both ways. It's not hard to hear. Cymbals sound bad.
