Elk has it right for 120v. For a JP unit, it’s a 2.5A.

Hey Joe-Appierto…I wish I could answer that one for you…
as I haven’t tried either the HFT gold or Silver Star…
Only a guess can I offer…but it would seem logical
to assume that your thoughts on the warmth combined
with detail is what HFT was aiming for with the Supreme3s.
I really enjoy the Supreme3s’ warmth and detail…in contrast to
the Oranges…the Oranges do fill out but not quite the same level of warmth
as the Supreme3s…yet yield those minutest details more precisely than the
Supreme3s…
So while my pre and power amp run the Oranges…I replace the Orange with
the Supreme3s in my P15…looking for the best of both worlds…
It seems that this is acceptably close…
Happy fusing
Best wishes friend

You make me smile with your descriptions, thanks.
I have used the Gold, SilverStar, and the Supreme. The original version of the Supreme and not its current incarnation. The only piece of equipment I have that uses the HFT fuses now is my CA200 integrated. The 4 SilverStar in the B+/B- rails and the Gold XLT for the mains connection because the inrush tends to be a bear to handle otherwise.
Haven’t tried any of the Synergistic ones but judging by comments that seem to be almost universal, I guess they sound darn good in any number of applications. It always comes down to personal choice of course.

Photo was taken this past Sunday. Bunch of old geezers a number of which turned 70 this year. Notice the only fat geezer, towards the middle in maroon who’s the only one not smiling?
So you did accomplish something good.

Any one try these yet?
New news to me. I’ve had all the colors. Tired of the upgrade-a-round on this series. Maybe time for someone else’s Beeswax.

Purple fuse from the Synergistic home page:
Unfortunately their are a lot of colors in the spectrum! Many more fuses to come! Maybe I’ll wait for plaid!

Plaid version will cost you about $140K , I think that may be stretching the law of dimi9nshing returns

Doesn’t look like anyone is selling them yet. If you find a reseller. I will try it versus the Beeswax ultimate Premier SHD in my P20. The loser fuse goes to my HDPLEX300.

The purple fuse is so new Synergistic Research’s website still refers to it as “Orange” or “Blue” at the bottom of the purple fuse page.
Oops.

P3 is 5x20mm 2A slow blow, correct?
PST is a 5x20mm 1.6A slow blow.
The main question being 5x20mm for P3…95% sure about the rest (USA). TIA!
According to the manual which is available on this web site:
Fuse: The P3, for all units marked US and JP, takes a 5 amp, 250 volt, 5mm/20mm Slow-Blow
fuse. For all units marked EX, GR, UK, and AU, the P3 takes a 3 amp, 250 volt, 5mm/20mm SlowBlow fuse
Hope this helps.

Yes, for the US Stellar P3 it is a 5x20mm 2A slow.
Sorry. Must’ve missed the question was for the Stellar P3 and not the earlier plain vanilla P3. My mistake.
