The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

Ordered a purple one for my amplifier. 

I am trying a SR purple in my Request Audio Beast at the moment. Power Amp is a boulder 1160. The Purple is a huge improvement over the Orange but - it is very musical but for me a little bit too much. It tends to soften the sound in the whole frequency range. I prefer the QSA yellow which is more neutral and detailed. I will try a QSA Red next. 

Still a little confused as to the purple fuse direction on my tube mono block amps. This fuse replaced a QSA yellow in which the arrow on that fuse pointing from back to front.

The purple fuse was initially installed basically the same way with the writing going from back to front. The soundstage sounded ok, but the vocals sounded a little too warm.

So, I reversed the purple direction, now the writing is going from the front to back. At least at now (5 hours usage) it seems to have more detail, and the vocals seem to be more prominent.
