Great review! I currently own a JS-2 powering a U1 Mini.  Has anyone tried the purple fuse in the JS-2 or a U1 Mini.  I may try this first before I decide on the top 2 power supplies in this shootout.

I have a SR purple fuse in both of my power supplies (one being the JS-2) and my power plant 3. The JS-2 is powering a JCAT XE usb card. In my opinion, the mid range gets taken back very slightly, while the stage seems to get bigger and more detail retrieval . While there is a difference, whether or not you would consider it better is going to be based off your preference for how forward/dense you want your midrange to be. For example, I purchased a SR purple fuse for my Holo may as well, but quickly put back the red nano fuse to balance it out. It was just sounding a little too thin with 4 SR purple fuses in my system. I purchased a second hypsos for my etherregen. I would have been happy with a second JS-2 (I really really like to tonality it imparts in my system) but decided to get a more flexible power supply, just in case. So, if your system sounds too thick/congested, I would get a SR purple fuse, if it's thin to begin with, I wouldn't.

Did you tried them for more then a month?

that gives a great difference

Well, I received the JS-2 on the 25th of January and had a SR purple fuse on hand waiting to be put in the js-2. So it's been installed for a bit more than 30 days, as well as one in the power plant. The biggest effect was on my dac, but I missed the holo house sound so I put back the red nano that came with the may kte.
