Audio Magic M2 vs SR Pink fuse, Owners thoughts and observations here please

Well…

We are all wondering what your experience is with the new fuse. :wink:

I’ve a bit of a quandry / query for other Pink fuse owners out there.

I thought I had a Pink fuse in my dac but it turns out it’s a Master fuse.
(I thought I had sold it a long time ago.)

Would it be better to keep the Master in the dac or change it out to new Holographic fuse?

I just emailed SR and asked them directly, I’ll post their reply when I get it.

Got the following speedy response from SR -
If you already have a Master Fuse in your DAC, I would recommend sticking with the Master there.

The new Holographic Fuse is a significant upgrade over Pink, but for DACs specifically, I still prefer the Master.

That being said, I would definitely recommend trying at least one Holographic Fuse somewhere else in your system. It brings a different level of openness, dimensionality, and realism, and having at least one Holographic in the system will allow you to experience what the new technology brings.

@sheridd2 I have Master fuses in my DAC/Pre, streamer and switch, but replaced the Pinks in my AGD Gran Vivace MkIV monoblocks with great results…

I had two Master fuses before when I had mostly PSA components, and frankly it took forever for me to like them and none was in PSA gears. One was in Lumin U2 that I used to own and one was in a LHY Switch that I do not own anymore. I did not like Master fuse in any of the PSA gear frankly.

However, I like AM M2 fuses better so I sold both Masters. Then I tried a Pink fuse and like it better than M2 fuse in MU2, and it does a better job in lowering the noise floor. I will try a Holographic fuse once I receive my new Takshaka jumpers. I will go slow on tweak upgrades unlike before since my ears are not as sharp now. :laughing:
