Purple is no Match for Red.
Hi Mark. Iām just double-checkingā¦ I bought the Shurter fuses you specified to replace those that recently blew in my K50, but there is nothing obvious on the fuses that indicates directionality. Iām guessing they arenāt directional and can go into the fuse holder either way round on both sides?
This is correct, as long as they go exactly where the previous fuses went, and you install the fuse holder back in the correct way round to display the correct voltage
Directionality of a fuse has to do with perceived increase of audio quality of certain (usually more expensive) fuses.
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.

Please note that (these) fuses have a burn in period.
Hi Paul.
Thanks for the info. I had noted the burn-in period of the new fuses. Fresh in and the system sound was clearly dull and lacking in dynamics. A couple of nights later the usual vibrant, dynamic sound had returned. Strange to think something as seemingly unimportant (to SQ) as a fuse could have this effect. I have a I2S cable coming tomorrow after running a good AES for some time, so it will be interesting to see how that goes.
Hi Xevious,
Since you are interested in comparing cables, at one point you could also try a better fuse (not both at once of course). SR fuses are popular, and can be tried for 30 days. I have very good results with SR (orange) in Linear Power Supplies. But not every device needs one or can even make you hear a difference.
Happy listening!
PS give the cable plenty time to run in before judging
Coming back to the original post of 2glory lām anbit confused. I have cx/ex not upgraded with oladra but with original power. 2glory seems to use 1A fuse, on the web I found a 1,25A (Synergistic Research Purple) as a suitable replacement. You seem to recommend 2,5A? I donāt want the risk of harming the cx/ex so which type is recommended in which case?
There are no technical instructions in the Antipodes documentation. Thx.
These are what is recommended for all modern Antipodes Serverās
There is no recommendation other than what we use.

Hi Mark, thanks. I will order 4 fuses 2,5AT for the EX/CX combination. Curious about the effect on perceived sound quality.
DX3
Fuse is a 2.25 small fast blow? And the direction in the tray is ā¦ā¦.?
This is true for the DX3 as the K50 direction?
Yes for all Antipodes Audio devices that use fuses
