Purple means power!

By now it is fully clear to A/V enthusiasts that better fuses than the stock ones are simply a must to extract the best performance from all A/V equipment. If you are searching for what is maybe the best fuse available worldwide, this one is yours!

There is no other tweak or upgrade in this price range that has such an enormous impact as simply replacing your stock fuse with an Purple Fuse. It may seem a lot of money for a single fuse, but its value expressed in other upgrades easily comes close to up to a thousand Euros. That is why the price/performance ratio of the new Purple Fuse is simply unbeatable.

It may sound boring that every new fuse is the greatest leap in performance of all new generations of SR fuses, but there’s no arguing: it is true… several experienced beta-testers confirmed the leap in performance from Orange to Purple is far more significant than the – already great – upgrade from Blue to Orange. This tells a lot about the effect the new Purple Fuse will have in your system. The new Purple Fuse surpasses the Orange Fuse with technology initially developed for the state-of-the-art SRX Series cables. This couldn’t be achieved without the new, last-moment double breakthrough at Synergistic Research, where they developed a new three stage, long duration high voltage conditioning process, and on top of that, a new UEF compound featuring Graphene. Together, these new technologies create a larger soundstage with better image focus and higher resolution from a perceived lowering of the noise floor. Of all the fuse generations and refinements SR has pioneered over the past decade, the new Purple Fuses are by far the best sounding and indeed take the single greatest leap in performance over previous generations. All aspects of subjective sound quality get enhanced, including natural sound where instruments and vocals sound inherently right, dynamics, low-level detail, high-frequency extension, and smoothness all take a massive leap forward. Purple fuses offer a new level of dynamics and control, giving the impression of “effortless” reproduction of even the most demanding music.

In case there are several fuses in a single piece of equipment, our hint is: start with the primary (main) fuse. This one will carry all current drawn and is the most important one. Just like any other fuse, Purple Fuses are directional too! The “S” on the label of your Purple Fuse should be at the “hot” side of the fuse holder, as can be determined using a voltage detecting screwdriver. Remove the plug from the wall outlet and remove the primary fuse, re-insert the plug into the wall outlet and determine on which of the two contacts of the fuse holder the lamp in the screwdriver lights. However, only do this when this contact is easy to access and you understand what you are doing. In all other cases you should listen to the fuse inserted in both directions. One direction will sound more detailed with a more natural timbre. This is the correct way.

Brand new Purple Fuses tend to outperform fully broken in Orange Fuses. With Purple Fuses you can expect a mild burn-in during the first 200-300 hours. During this time you should experience a balancing of the soundstage with improved frequency linearity especially in the mid-range and high frequencies. While break-in time of especially the Black Fuse could be significant, the new Purple Fuse will beat a fully broken in Orange Fuse already, right out of the box. After just 24 hours it really starts to open up, and from that moment… things will only get better and better and better! The new Purple Fuse surpasses Synergistic Research’s Orange Fuse with technology initially developed for the state-of-the-art SRX Series cables. More technocal details can be found on their website.

“Two hundred bucks is a lot of money for a fuse, but it’s a bargain for the musicality the Purple brings to your system, even if you have to buy a handful of them. If you’re faint of heart, start with only one for your favorite front-end component. But maximum enjoyment will likely come when you run them from top to bottom. You might discover that you no longer feel the need to buy the much more expensive component you’ve been eyeing. And how many thousands of dollars would that save you?”

“The overall effect can be summed up in one word; ‘naturalness’. The sound just seems a little less ‘electronicky’ and a bit more ‘natural’ and ‘effortless’. Better yet, the more Purple UEF fuses you add to the system, the more it tends toward this effortlessy natural sound. Rhythmic elements in the sound just ‘pop’ into place a bit more with each fuse in the chain and swapping them back for anything else is a step in the wrong direction. There’s no going back!”

“The Synergistic Research Purple fuse is for the connoisseur with the confidence and means to spend $200 on a fuse. I’ve reviewed the Black, Blue, Orange and now the Purple fuses from Synergistic and the Purple has been the largest improvement over any previous generation. As expensive as they are, they are an outstanding value when compared with the cost of buying a newer component to achieve the same improvement (if that’s possible at all.) Here again, you need to specify the size, value and whether you need a Slow-blow or Fast-blow type. And if for some strange reason you don’t like what they do for your music, you have a 30-day money-back guarantee.”

Synergistic Research Purple Fuse – Good sound is assured by Philipp Schneckenburger @ lite-magazin.de (German-English translation by Google)
“The setup plays differentiated and wonderfully lively thanks to the increased dynamics. You can set off some really fun musical fireworks here.”
“At 220 euros, they’re not exactly a bargain, but if you want to optimize your setup with comparatively little effort, you can look forward to a more open, differentiated and more natural sound.”
