Accuphase, fuses

@tecknik 

I don't yet own an Accuphase amp, but the difficulty of getting to the fuse may deter me from trying to tweak it that way. 

I have never tried the blue fuse, so I can't say. I can tell you that the purple is very good. 

FYI, yes the purple fuse is better sounding than the blue fuse. After seeing this thread I just ordered a purple fuse for my Accuphase. I have one in the Pass 250, my mac and hegal. All sound better with the purple.

Please report back after you receive the purple fuse. Would love to hear your impressions. 

I am an authorized Synergistic Research dealer since May 2023, but as an audiophile I have used SR cables, fuses and accessories since 2016. I started on black fuses, moving to blue, orange and purple.

Blue fuses were wonderful, much better than black in dynamics/punchlines and details/resolution. In my opinion, SR got it wrong with the orange, which added too much bloom and got in the way of details. The purple is definitely back in the right direction, with even better dynamics and details than the blue, but also with a level of effortlessness that is not fatiguing, regardless of how many you use. Before I became a dealer I was very hesitant to move to purple because of the experiences I had with orange, but I am glad to now have mostly purple and some masters in my system. 

I thought I was the only one. I had the orange fuse and it was just awful in my PassLabs. So much so, it had me changeing cables to fix the harshness. The purple IMO is Devine. Everything just sounds more effortless, and musical with natural treble.
