The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Hey, someone calls me out I'll answer, what's your reason. Andy   
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
oregonpapa OP "I have to tell you that I submitted your lengthy, and somewhat ridiculous, review of the SR Purples to the "Audio Bullsh!t" group, and, so far, 36 commenters have made you quite the laughing stock."   You need to get the facts ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
My God!  Even through the hundreds of standard fuses, thousands of miles of cheap ethernet cables, and hundreds of vendor-supplied power cables between your system and mine I can hear the improvement wrought from the SR Purple Fuses! Hallelujah... 
TL074 vs.TL084?
Forgot the TLO74/84 was a quad, the AD827’s don’t come as quad, but this quad OPA2604 is still better. A little colored though just like the TL’s big warmish bass. https://www.digikey.com/htmldatasheets/production/3362271/0/0/1/opa2604.html   A... 
Pass Labs XA25 without preamp (from a variable output source) vs INT25
Sound without a pre is only flat if your DAC has a crappy output stage. Buy a properly engineered DAC and that won’t be a problem. +1 Most dacs today have ss output stages that are just as good if not better than your mega buck preamps, and def... 
TL074 vs.TL084?
TL074 and TL084. old hat fet. Look at AD827's much better, but other things have to be good sounding otherwise they will show up deficiencies. Andy  
Pass Labs XA25 without preamp (from a variable output source) vs INT25
  @joegt If you don’t need the extra gain, adding a preamp will give you extra noise, extra distortion (good or bad), less detail and separation, extra wiring, I’m sure there are others. Going direct, if you have enough gain, and your source is ...

My point was he didn’t show the world about his trade "illusion" secrets. And the only thing you get from these now from what I’ve been reading about them, is called "expectation bias" for your $200, and it's what Atmasphere aptly calls them. A...

@cd45123...Can you please elaborate why? +1 I like to hear that too Andy

  Do you think Houdini got patents? He was an illusionist, just the "properties" of these fuses are made out to be by some here. That’s why there’s no chance in hell of one being granted to one of these "fuses". Andy  
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
There’s a reason the patent office is still open guys. Sorry, but there’s no chance in hell a patent would be granted for what is "claimed" they can do by thoses here. Andy

willgolf I now have a collection of SR fuses that are worthless. I guess they go to my fuse grave.   I was afraid of that willgolf. This is why I asked the OP exactly what things changed so I could get an idea what they would do to my system. ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
I just placed a yellow fuse in my remote and could swear the remote was in the room! Unbelievable I put a blue in mine, and it took the dog for a walk. Andy    
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
We also have zero for sale on AG. To my knowledge my company has never sold anything on AG nor do we advertise our products here. Very odd, oregonpapa gives the impression he gets pre-production SR fuses, and "thinks" himself a "beta tester" fo...

  Nice going Frank! I wonder if Ted had anything to do with this?   Could have, Audiogon's Blue Book.  https://www.audiogon.com/bluebook/brands/synergistic-research
