The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

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.

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.

I’d like to back up what Ted and @thyname have expressed, “they are more protective than standard fuses.” This I speak of comes from experience @lucapelliccioli.

Though I completely understand your concern (it’s better to be safe than sorry) the 3.15 amp would suite just fine.

Not wanting to start any debate, and I don't remember seeing it discussed before, can you without giving away any product confidential information relate what makes the fuses directional?

 A member no longer on A'gon would say that it was because all wire, including in fuses, is directional due to the extruding process.  Hoping you can shed some light on this.

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.
