Synergistic Research Announces NEW Top-Line Purple Fuses

Before we get started with Special Offers, we wanted to let you know that Synergistic Research has announced a new 6th generation of their popular fuses. The new Purple Quantum Fuses ($199.95) are, we are told, 2 years in development, these many months needed to come up with something better than the already excellent ORANGE Fuses ($159.95), which also remain in the line.

Purple should be shipping almost immediately. As you might expect we are very interested to hear what "better" sounds like. We are told that it is a big step, subjectively a bigger step up, than was the Black version to the Blue version, or the Blue version to the Orange version (that was major). When it comes to fuses, SR has always delivered, so "better than Orange" ought to be really something special!

For now, sight unseen, we will just post their press release:

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

More on the new Purple Fuses once we can get them in our systems for hands-on evaluation.
