The brand new Purple Fuse is Synergistic Research's latest flagship fuse, surpassing the performance of the remarkable Orange fuses thanks to a new, three-stage conditioning process and a new premium graphene UEF compound to reduce the noise floor further than has ever been possible for Synergistic Research fuses. Slow-blow fuses are most commonly found in high-powered electrical equipment. They are more tolerant to high current passing through, meaning the fuse will withstand sudden high current flowing through the unit. Slow-blow fuses should be used where the equipment utilises large amounts of power, especially when switched on, like power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers or headphone amps. When installing your new fuse, please ensure you test the fuse in both directions as they are directional from left to right. When the fuse is inserted in the correct direction it will sound more detailed.

Please note: some configurations will be special-order.

What Synergistic Research say

The new Purple Fuse surpasses the Orange Fuse with technology initially developed for our state-of-the-art SRX Series cables. In fact, before two last-minute breakthrough SRX technologies, Synergistic Research could not better the Orange Fuse with its impossible combination of detail and rich harmonic musicality. As a result, they were set to forgo a new fuse introduction for 2022 as they could not build anything better sounding than Orange despite two years of trying. It was not until SR finalized two new technologies, namely a three-stage long duration high voltage conditioning process and a brand new UEF compound featuring Graphene, that they were able to beat the Orange Fuse significantly. 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 pioneered over the past decade, the new Purple Fuses are by far the best sounding and 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. 

How fuses alter the sound of your system:

For over one hundred years people believed electrons flowed like water through a pipe and that once ‘contaminated’ by miles of wire, there was little or nothing that could be done to ‘clean’ the electricity feeding your components. Consider this: the electricity feeding your system’s components first propagates through a single fuse. This is why significant gains in sound quality are possible when you insert an SR Black or Blue Fuses into each of your components.

Today physicists understand electrons don’t flow at all but rather propagate in a wave of energy that moves along a conductor with a multitude of factors that alters this wave at the quantum level. To understand how electricity travels without electrons ever leaving their respective atoms it is helpful to consider the spectator ‘wave’ at a football match. Even though you can clearly see a wave pattern moving from spectator to spectator as fans raise and then lower their hands (without hands jumping from one person to the next), so too does electricity ‘move’ without electrons ever leaving their atoms. At Synergistic Research they have isolated key factors that affect how electricity propagates by changing the behavior of electrons through Inductive Quantum Coupling methods we collectively call UEF Tech. In fact, UEF Tech is so powerful even an electrical chain several miles long is fundimentally improved with nothing more than a single fuse engineered with Synergistic Research's patented UEF Technology.

Ecxellent service
10 Nov 2023
Verified Buyer
I can't say anything good or bad about the fuse as it didn't change the sound signature of my Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition phono stage at all. Therefore, the rating is in the middle of 3 stars.

The Futureshop's service at the TOP level, for this 5 stars. So 4 stars in total.

A really super quick delivery from the time of ordering.
10 Feb 2023
Verified Buyer
Having bought various fuses in the range, most being the SR Orange. These Purple fuses are just how people have reviewed them before. They work really well in conjunction with SR Orange and Hifi Tuning Supreme 3 fuses.

Place a 13amp at the beginning of the system chain on the wall plug, and this great fuse will feed all the other fuses in your system as long as they are also of decent quality. Then place an internal Purple fuse on a DAC or phono stage to really add its super lush qualities. These Purple fuses have nothing like the really crazy burn in the period 300 to 500 hours and the "have I really done the right thing"?

Unfortunately, you still may have to experiment with the direction issues. At first a very expensive upgrade but one that can really pay for itself with big improvements to your listening enjoyment.

Nice upgrade from SR Orange
3 Feb 2023
Verified Buyer
This is in my PS Audio P3 regenerator, which had an SR Orange. It needs at least seven days to sound good, and it is quite an up-and-down process before burn-in.

It is better than the Orange fuse, with better control at both ends. Perhaps not warm, just neutral.

Recommended.

Amazing
2 Nov 2022
Verified Buyer
I was sceptical because I hadn't tried hi-fi fuses before. Still, I decided to go all in and order the best ones to test if this really gave as good a boost to the sound as I'd read about.

It made a big difference in the DDC, external reference clock and the internet switch. Much more detail in the entire frequency range.

Amazing!!

SR Purple Fuse Is a Technical Breakthrough
19 Sep 2022
Verified Buyer
I have now replaced my mains supply fuse and 4 other fuses for the inlets of my equipment. Fuse direction was quite easy to detect in all cases. Best after 200 hours break in.

The result is that I am listening to music and not thinking about HiFi. Stunning product! Expensive to buy but more expensive not to. I cannot believe this is my old system.
