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?

Thank you very much for the above information, it certainly helps.  Regarding physical size, the fuses are 5x20mm,

I am following up on my post when a first received the Purple fuses many weeks ago. They have burned in nicely, although I think they sound much better right out of the box than past versions.

Everything has gotten even better, with more overall thrust and solidity, yet at the same time, a more liquid and detailed sound with cleaner and more piercing transient attack. Imaging has improved and soundstage size has increased. Let's face it, $200 is no small amount for a fuse.  Though, this has been no small upgrade and has been more subtsantial than many component upgrades that I have made.  Dollar for dollar, euro for euro, these may be the most cost effective upgrade that one can make in a stereo system. I would upgrade to the Purples before spending money on anything else. Very impressive and I find deep solace in the fact that any naysayers will never enjoy this level of performance.  

I received my Purple Fuse on Monday Feb 7th.  It has been playing non stop since.  I noticed my system was more harsh, it was irritating my ears.   Then I remembered I forgot to try it in the other direction.  I did so just now, but I'm not sure I can tell a difference.  Is the difference supposed to be very obvious?   If I ran it the wrong for 72 hours, does that hurt the fuse in any way?
