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?

Chiming in, maybe not adding much to the discussion;

I made a bunch of cable evaluations this week and reached a major improvement level but not finished quite yet. Once I hit this week's new level, I was awaiting my Purple fuse so I inserted an Audio Magic SHD beeswax I had in the parts bin and was surprised how good it "sounded". So my expectations were higher that maybe the 'fuse thing' will add improvement. Last night I received the Purple and threw it right in and it sounds slightly different but still nice given one hour of use.

I cannot use the AM SHD long term as it is a 6.8 amp rating and this piece of gear only requires a 1 amp SB or 2 amp std blow. Alfred backed me up if the 1 amp were to blow but it did not, so I'm good to go.

Logically, it makes sense that if we can get more of the electrical pulse/wave to move freely through the choke point, we should have sound that the electronics are fully capable of generating. Much like getting the 'right' cabling in place and hearing how your speakers actually play like $30k speakers instead of $5k speakers now that they are unleashed.

All good things.

I did not have any impact from a FEQ and 15 HFTs last week, but I gave it a shot. Overall, "Tweak week" turned out pretty good for me with the new cabling and fuse so I'm happy with the improvements. 

I liked the purple so much in the preamp, I popped the top to my amp and found the fuse and also replaced it yesterday. Letting it burn in. Good stuff.

 

 

I wouldn't know my left from your left, so no help there. And besides, I just stuck them in and went for it. If it was bad after running for a few days I could swap it 180 degrees. My second one has maybe 30 hours on it so no way to tell yet. it didn't make everything go sour at the start, so.......

Do you know the physical size of it? Is it 20 or 32 mm long?

The T1AL looks like a one amp slow blow.

The T2L is a 2 amp I believe.

 

Both of those, either fast or slow blow, are available as SR Purples. Try High End Electronics or similar vendors.
