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 tried one purple fuse on the cable from my wall outlet to my Isotek Evo 3 power conditioner. I am liking the additional details that I hear in music tracks so much so that I have placed an order for purple fuses for the rest of the components in my system, other than my power conditioners and sub-woofers. 

Now thinking about it, was leaving them (the sub-woofer and power conditioners) out a mistake?

Can I check with those that have installed the purple fuses on their systems whether replacing the fuses on sub-woofers and power conditioners will have a discernible and positive impact to the sound of my system?

Thanks!   

Hello dcpillai - I've consulted with Chris VenHaus of VH Audio and he advocates using them in power conditioning as the effects are cumulative. I've not discussed subs with him.

Many thanks for the response @nutty. Should you ever discuss extending the use of the purple fuses to subs, please do let me know what Chris says. 

Was also wondering whether there are any components which would benefit from an orange fuse over a purple fuse? I would love a killer soundstage courtesy of the orange + the dynamism of the purple. One thought is orange for the pre and power amplifiers, while all the components utilise purple fuses? Would appreciate your views.

Thanks :-) 

   

Hello dcpillai - Chris VenHaus would have better insight on your query,  however to my mind and what I've done in my system is was keep everything consistent. I've gone with all Purple fuses. Think of it as a loom of cables -

Nutty,, I gave up on the Furutech Rhodium gtx outlet. The bass was good but the high end was just to smeared and brittle. I have a pair of Nola ko speakers. They have 4 tweeters per speaker. I'm using a Cardas outlet now. It has been in use for 6 months and at least a 1,000 hours on it. It's build as good as the Furutech. But it is copper silverplated with a flashing plating Rhodium. All my power cords are the Cabledyne with elGo silverplated plugs installed. This combo is very good with the tube gear and the Nolas. Very natural sounding.
