Purifi Class D: Junk?


So, from the previous thread about high-end class D the Purifi module was brought up. I decided to get a cheap example from VTV, a simple stereo unit with a single Purifi module and matching Hypex SMPS. Standard input buffer. I got it in yesterday. First impression wasn't what I was expecting: weak, congested dynamics is what stood out to me. I expected greater expression through my ProAc D30Rs. The other problems such as poor soundstage, thin / boring character, etc, I marked up to needing burn-in before evaluating. So it's been 24 hours, I would still expect to get at least the high control / damping of high end class D and dynamic power, but it's just not present.

Could it be an impedance mismatch? Other manufacturers selling the Purifi with their custom input buffers are reporting 47k Ohms. VTV doesn't say in the manual or on the site. I checked the Purifi data sheet which reports...2.2k Ohms on SE???? That can't be right?? That's absurdly low! Am I reading the right spec? My preamp has an output impedance of 230 Ohms. Can someone confirm that the stock Purifi has this ultra-low input impedance?

I prefer to use Littlefuse or Bussman.
These are what I recommend and use, for those that don't know, these are quality fuses around 50cent. Not $150+🤦‍♂️

Remember change your old fuses that have see too many turn on cycles, especially on amps
 
Just change the fuse if old for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age after many turn on cycle surges.

Left to right
Quick blow fuses            and    slow blow fuses aging

I have never heard a Bussman or Littlefuse sound anywhere near as good as any boutique fuse.  Please people use your ears.  It is not just resistance that the fuse gives.  There are non linearities in all materials and resonances.  Fuses can measure exactly the same "voltage drop" and sound worlds different....please listen.  Do not believe me or anyone....believe your own ears.  Make up your own mind.  Do not be a follower of people.  Be a leader....a live...er....a knower.
Just a pseudo fuser, but with ulterior product sales motive’s aimed at hooking a gullible buyer🤦‍♂️
One thing for sure you are right about: cheap OEM fuses are not anywhere near as good. But I fear your irrefutable info has run into an immovable object in George.
