The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

I have tried the gold Furutech outlet. It gave me a veiled sound compared to their Rhodium plating. But the 3 purple fuses I have in my system are great for the tube gear. 

Well it finally happened with the SR purple fuses in my system. A week ago I bought another tube amp. The amp uses a different size fuse. So of course I'll have to buy another purple fuse. But what a upgrade to the amp for $200. 

Exactly. It won't hurt the fuse if you install it wrong.  The direction is only for slow blow fuses. Fast blow fuses don't have direction. 

The fuse direction on slow blow fuses is because they have a small diode at one end. The diode holds the incoming rush of voltage. If this type of fuse is installed the right way the high end is clean sounding. Not a dull sounding. 

I'm with you ozzy. I have no idea why a fuse can make so much difference. It all adds up to a cheap upgrade. 

Yes finding the right cable combination and then adding a SR purple fuse will a greater impact. 

I replaced the Acme sauced fuses with the orange fuses. I didn't care for the orange fuses. So I Sent them back for a refund. That was a couple of years back. Now 35 days ago I bought 3 SR purple fuses for my gear. WOW these fuses are the best fuses I have used. A easy going burn in. They just kept getting better everyday. I  listen to my system everyday for 4 to 8 hours. 

My Audioquest Niagara 5000 doesn't have any fuses. I started with my dac. Then the cdt. Last was my amp. But starting with a purple fuse in the power conditioner makes a lot of sense to me.

You are on the way to a new level or two. I added the 3rd and last one awhile ago. It's nearly burned in now. This afternoon my system took off into orbit. 

Now SR has come out with the purple duplex outlet. I have contacted the cable company about it. They said its new and started to ship now. But they have not been able to review it as of now. But if it's anything like the purple fuses it'll probably be super.

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. 

Sie Nutty, I took SR up on their 30 return policy on the purple outlet. I got it on This pass Monday. With the 3 purple fuses in my gear it's great. Just like their fuse with a 5 fold in performance. 

In are audio club we call it bass ping. No boom and rumble. Just musical bass notes as they should be.
