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?

A friend of mine has had most iterations of the SR range.

His notes:

SR Red Good improvement in resolution, small improvement in soundstage

SR Blue Less improvement in resolution than Red, more improvement in soundstage than Red

SR Orange Good improvement in resolution, good improvement in soundstage

SR Purple Big improvement in resolution, big improvement in soundstage

Would have loved to have heard Frank's view on the SR Master.

Someone whose opinion I valued.

Hi,

I’ve just got 3 SR Purple fuses in my system. I was sceptic but curious enough to try them within a 30 days return policy. And especially now the buy 2 get 3 promotion. 
 

Of course immediately after installing the fuses, I had a listen. There was definitely something going on here. The soundstage was wider and spaciousness was more present. But it sounded thin, lean and with minimal bass performance.

At the 12 hour mark the voices became fuller and warmer. Bass still not deep or expressive. 

Now at the 24 hour mark, the bass started to expand to the lower regions. More weight and powerful. But midrange and bass are a bit flowing into each other’s frequency. A bit to much. They are pressing the higher frequencies out of proportion. Instruments are sounding more real though. But missing that upper sparkle. I’m hoping the highs will get clearer and everything wil open up more. 

Can anyone say anything about the timeline of the burn-in process and sonic differences? 
 

Thanks!


 

 

 

@-wolff- For me, it took about 10 days for the Purple fuse to show it’s true and full potential. I was running the component for almost 10 hours every day. If you’re still not happy, try changing the direction. 

I'm still running two SR Purple fuses in my Supernait 3 and Teddy Pardo TeddyCap SE power supply. I just ordered a Schiit Ydggdrasil + DAC but it's fuse is not accessible. Early on I was thinking of removing the Teddy Pardo TeddyCap SE from the system as I felt it was bright. My good friend Yair at Pardo recommended the SR Purple fuses and it paid off! IMHO, everyone using the Purple fuses or any SR fuse knows their worth.
