Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle

The Oyaide R1 and Furutech NCF series are reference receptacles. I suggested the Oyaide because that's what I use and have been very happy with them. It's also about half price of the Furutech once you include all the fittings.

I sincerely doubt that the Purple receptacle is better than these two but maybe it is, I'm not pulling my rack apart to find out.

If you want maximum detail in a fuse this is a detail monster. I have one in my power supply. Power House Zero 2 Extreme. They may be an offshoot of QSA, about $600 - my limit for fuses.

I hope you are well. I love my Atoll IN300 and think Atoll is an amazing hifi manufacturer currently flying under the radar. The IN300 is a very warm sounding solid state integrated amplifier. The sonic character is tube-like but with greater detail. It does an amazing job pushing high demanding speakers. I have a pair of ADS L1590II that have been completely refurbished by Richard So. They sound amazing. 

I thought the QSA Yellow sounded a little bright and am glad I moved up to the Violet. I think you will be very impressed with the SR Purple for the Atoll IN200 IEC. I like the Purple but I read SR recommends going up one rating above the manufacturer’s stock fuse. Also, Tweek Geek (where I buy my QSA fuses) allows you to receive full price on your current QSA fuse if you upgrade within six months. I agree with Willgolf and believe fuses can have the same sonic improvement as cables or any other tweak. I truly believe these fuses have taken my setup to the next level and I’m now getting the most out of my system. 

The Atoll IN300 takes a 10am/5x20/slow blow. 

Keep searching for the sound.

Thanks for the suggestions. Have you tried any of the QSA fuses to compare to the Power House Zero 2 Extreme fuses. I’m very interest to know which QSA fuse (color) I can compare it to. Thanks again for your suggestions. 

Hi Steve, No I haven't compared the Power House to QSA fuses as I said they are incredibly detailed, much more than SR Purple.

I think having more than one in a system would be too much.

I've been waiting for this Purple duplex to be available for sale for months and now I have one.  First impressions are certainly positive. I went directly from a cheap generic receptacle, probably less than $1, to this product. My system's music reproduction is significantly more satisfying now. The change was immediate. Dynamics improved appreciably and there's more sense of realness and presence to the sound. I think there was also a volume increase, but I can't really A/B to verify my sense of that.

I have zero affiliation with SR, Ted, or any financial interest in making these comments. I'm just a dude on the internet that wanted to share my impressions from the first day of listening. Seems like a very worthwhile $300 tweak.
