Great Kevin, the more the merrier.
Your friend should notice s big difference.
Since the Orange, SR has launched the Purple and then the Pink.
I’ve had both of these and each one improves on the previous one.
I have one Pink fuse and like what it does in MU2. Interesting to know if anyone ordered a Holographic fuse to compare to the Pink fuse.
But sooner or later I will try it myself, maybe after my Asia trip at the end of the month.
@sheridd2 Hi, I don’t (and probably won’t) have tracking on them, so I assume that they’ll show up by and by. I’m in CA, so they don’t have far to travel.
They will be replacing a Master in my BACCH-SP and Pinks in my AGD Gran Vivaces. I’m not sure which place I’ll try them first…
@sheridd2 My three Holographic Fuses arrived today and so far I just have them replacing the Pinks in my AGD Gran Vivaces MkIV.
So far, very good. Cold out of their boxes, the Holographic Fuses do everything the Pinks do so well, only better, being even more three dimensional, with larger, more rounded images within the stage. The noise floor seems a bit lower as well and, tonally, they seem a just a bit more fleshed out.
More recent iterations of SR fuses don’t seem to exhibit the wild, roller-coaster ride break-in that the Orange and even Purple seemed to display.
I plan to let these cook in the AGDs for a few days before making any further moves fuse-wise…
Perfect, looks like they’lll be a good upgrade.
This is at new installation too which is quite amazing. Most of the fuses in my system took a day to settle and weeks to fully break in. If you hear more improvement after a couple of says then you may force me to break my promise by posting an upgrade in Sept. after our trip. ![]()
I’ve been around the SR fuses merry go round several times, with the advent of the different colors.
If my memory serves me right the last lots have been. blue, black, orange, purple and lastly Pink.
I promised myself with the Pinks I would stay with them.
These reports may have to make me re-consider?
I have my SR Holographic in my Aurender N30SA the past two days, a SR master in my Berkeley 3P Reference DAC, and an AM-M2 in my PMG pre-amp. The install of the SR Holo resulted in an immediate improvement in details and wider and deeper soundstage.
I listen very carefully and also at pretty high volume. The background noise is quieter to a point of non-existent to my ears, yet on some orchestral things with 24/176 resolution like Pictures at an Exhibition, you can now hear a very quiet solo instrument in some very quiet spots that before was not clearly distinct. All of the various instruments in this selection are clearer and easily heard separately if desired, even when they all join together. Vocals again became more defined with better texture and fade out.
Surprising, but my AI said a mix of these fuses is even recommended if you choose the right fuse for the right component. Each one has characteristics that can be synergistic if developed based on the way some components behave. What this will do in 100-200 hours is unknown. If it actually gets better, I would be pleasantly surprised.
@kimeccles Your experience mirrors mine. I am now five days into the Holographic Fuses in my amps and they have continued to progress…
