Synergistic Research Purple Fuse
£190.00
For all fuse ratings
The Synergistic Research Purple Fuse is a premium audio fuse that significantly enhances the performance of hi-fi systems. Utilising breakthrough technologies developed for the SRX Series cables, this fuse incorporates a three-stage long-duration high voltage conditioning process and a new UEF compound with Graphene.
These innovations result in a perceptible lowering of the noise floor, which in turn enhances sound quality across various parameters. The Purple Fuse produces a larger soundstage, improved image focus, and higher resolution, transforming the listening experience with unparalleled clarity and musicality.
Key Features:
Enlarged soundstage with better image focus.
Higher resolution and clearer audio output.
Significant reduction in noise floor for enhanced detail and smoothness.

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

Q: Are fuses directional?
A: Yes, fuses are directional. Electricity should flow from the left to the right when you view the fuse. If you do not know the direction of flow you should listen to the fuse inserted in both directions. One direction will sound more detailed. This is the correct way.
Q: Do fuses have a burn in period?
A: Yes, most products have a settling in period. The first 200-300 hours of use are the most crucial.

“The sonic changes to Synergistic Research Purple UEF fuses were immediately noticeable in several ways, with other benefits revealed after the initial flurry of changes. The first change is an increase in smoothness and refinement in the midrange and especially in the high frequencies. The higher frequencies are less congested and restricted too, which makes the top treble appear to have a greater extension. ”
