A question for the good peeps who used purple in the P15s: what is your impression of the first hour when the fuse is in?
I just put one in it hasn’t been 20min yet, I’m not impressed yet to be honest, it sounded worse than the stock, of course the stock is fully broken in.
It takes time for the burn in. You also have to make sure it is in correctly. It’s sounds dumb but it’s directional. If I’m not mistaken the R on the SR label should go in first towards the front.
Happy cake day @Serhan
According to the Cable Company there’s a sale on the Purples.
My first hour I could definitely hear an improved sound that I liked.
Thank you @paul172
Seven years flew by so fast 
Thanks, that’s how I got them. Still have a 2a and a 10a on the side waiting for my BHK250. about 2 hrs in on the fuse, resolution is definitely improved, I can hear harmonic details I couldn’t hear before even when I’m in my bedroom. Lost some warmth to the stock fuse though. Hopefully that will come back a bit with further burn-in.
Warmth is not a strong point with the Purple, if you want warmth and resolution, get the Audio Magic M1 instead. That’s what I replaced my P20 with after trying the Purple first. The sound is fuller, better textured, and wonderfully detailed.
Hey Karthick…
The Purple fuses require long long long burn in time…the will seesaw
back and forth all over the place and seem stuck in ugh junk phase
for a time then come around to hey that’s real good…back and forth
they require uber patience.
Have the M1s as well…agreeing with Waymanchen…but decided to retry
the Purples and for many months since the Purple vs M1 audio sq tests
were being performed…believe it or not the Purples have finally come into their
own and do offer up many of the sq that were not so much there earlier…
Best wishes in your journey
It depends on how your system is balanced. If your system is towards the sharp and bright, Purple can send it over the top, as M1 can provide some needed smoothness and warmth. I use a combination of both Purples and M1’s.
I have three AM M-1 and one SR Purple, and I frankly think I can live with two M-1 and two Purple just fine, and maybe even better. But I don’t think I want to find out.
I suspect part of the burn in process both for the fuse and the brain to get accustomed to one another requires taking the SR out of the chain after a sufficient run time on the fuse. I have zero proof of this, but this isn’t the first time a component that didn’t pan out first then after months on the shelf all of a sudden it sounded great.
If this is a case though, SR purple is an automatic no go for me, because in the end, there is no way for me to know is it the fuse that is better or is it just psychoacoustic playing a big role on the sound quality change.
If the component can’t show me 80% what it is capable of in the first 3 weeks it goes out of my system. only 3 days on mine, I’ll give another 18.
Thanks wudai_e…understand what you are saying,but in this case no it is not psychoacoustic or the ears adapting to a new sound signature…
Thanks for your thoughts though…

davida, thanks for the input. Last night putting Tchaikovsky on, sounded like A$#, almost pulled the fuse then and there. This morning, everything sounded great again, still not to the level of improvement I was hoping but way better.
It’s really an interesting read on another thread here about the purple and P20. Would love the hear if anyone has any scientific theory of this burn-in process is so “creepy” or non-linear.
That would be an interesting read…
Better yet why can’t SR for the prices they command for their fuses burn them
in and spare us this rather unpleasant experience.
It is kind of like buying a house and then seller tells the buyer …you paint it!
Best wishes y’all
I do not know the science, or any reason for that matter, why a fuse can turn from sh*/;,t to gold (and vice versa) in a day’s time. This was especially apparent with Purple and AM M1 demos. Go figure.
Finally settled on a loom of one of them but more an act of giving up.
