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?

For 2 weeks I enjoyed my purple fuse and then it blew at turn on.

I have a lampizator tube dac and I used the std rated fuse for my unit,which is a 1.6 amp slow blow fuse

should I increase to a 2 or 2.5 amp slow blow fuse?

 

Thx

Perhaps a question best asked of your equipment manufacturer if you are considering increasing the safety margin of the fuse !

I installed some SR Purple fuses 3 weeks ago. Sound is amazing. Refines the details between the notes. 

Anybody notice the SR Purples have a "tube"-like effect in SS gear? I’m using a Ferrum Oor+Hypsos headphone rig, which is extremely clean and transparent. When I put an older orange into the Hypsos power supply I heard more clarity, depth, and air. But when I popped in a brand new purple this afternoon I am hearing rich mids, holographic sound, and "glow". It is also noticeably darker, with a bigger, and more rounded bass.

So far I’m really liking it, but missing the sparkle of the orange a little bit. It honestly sounds like I added a tube input stage with NOS tubes to my SS amp.
