The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses

Today I ordered a third SR Purple fuse. It will be deployed in my Teddy Pardo XPS power supply. The XPS is powering the digital section of my Naim nDAC. Once I guage the performance of the third fuse I'll consider upgrading the nDAC. 

Monday july 4th I installed a Furutech GTX-D Gold receptical.  For your guidance, the GTX-D outlets require approximately 200 hours burn in for maximum performance.

I just received my SR purple today. I’ve installed it in my Pass INT 250 and I must say the reviews are spot on! Much richer sound then I had before. Sound is a lot more natural. I don’t  know how the sound will be after break in, but if there is no change Im happy!

As of yesterday I have four Synergistic Research Purple fuses in my system. Unfortunately I can't upgrade my Oppo BDP105D ;^(

Supernait 3, Naim nDAC,Teddy Pardo XPS and Teddy Pardo TeddyCap SE. 

The Oranges are very good as well but I prefer the Purples in my system. The Oranges have killer 3D soundstage imaging but the Purple's are more dynamic in my system. 

I also have over 325 hours burn in on the Furutech GTX-D Gold receptical. It has a very consistent and coherent neutral sound. Clean clear extended high frequencies. Also highly recommended. 

I purchased upgrades from Chris VenHaus of VH Audio. Excellent, courteous and knowledgeable customer service. FAST shipping too.

I have tried the gold Furutech outlet. It gave me a veiled sound compared to their Rhodium plating. But the 3 purple fuses I have in my system are great for the tube gear. 

Hello ball-wheel -

How is the bass response on the receptacle with the Rhodium plating and are you still using it? I'm very interested in you reply. 

I've got just over 350 hours on the Furutech GTX-D Gold and while I'm not getting a veiled presentation I'm getting quite the opposite. I was anticipating a warm presentation due to the glod plating however I'm finding the high frequencies and resolution to be very good. I have a power cable with Furutech FI-50 Rhodium plugs on my preamp's outboard linear power supply and while it took forever for it to settle in it was well worth it. However the Rhodium did shock my system early on as I feel it's clinical in nature. All of my other power cables are some combination of brass, copper, gold etc. so that's why I went with the GTX-D Gold hoping that there would be synergy. 

I am finding the GTX-D Gold to be lean and lacking drive in the lower frequencies. The bass articulates well however it's not natural sounding or deep as you'd expect from the receptacle. In m system the AV Options Deep-Cryo Hubble receptical has much deeper more natural sounding bass. The AVO Hubble surprisingly has better momentum, much deeper bass, more Dynamics and tacticle percussion. The Hubble could take some cues from the Furutech GTX-D in resolution and clarity. 

Best regards
