Lets try to guess which color they will do next. I think it will be Yellow.

I did hear mention of a diamond fuse when I was at the SR room back at CAF. Could be the code name though. Iād go with Yellow ahead of Green

For the new color, I vote for barber-pole. And with an ultra expensive clear fuse holder, in a cyclops form, like the date cyclops of my watch crystal, so I can sit behind my rack watching it spinning, wondering if itās spinning in the right direction.

It will draw less current and enhance the sound.

I used to be excited about fuses. Something else replaced that.
Okay, back to fuses. 
I have about 100 hours on the Pink, replacing the Audio Magic M-1 in my P20. Take my observations as my opinion. The Pink sounds a bit ācleanerā than the M-1, and seems to make it easier to resolve spatial placement throughout the frequency range. Piano sounds a touch more natural, which is kind of ironic because in general I sometimes get the feeling that what Iām hearing is a touch ātoo cleanā. Not that thereās any stripping away of harmonics or truncation of rhythms - thatās not it at all. It could just be that Iām used to the somewhat more āsmooth rollingā quality of the M-1. These differences, as always, are smallish in the grand scheme of things. I think I like the Pink better, but Iād say that if you already have a system that is somewhat lean and ultra detailed, the Pink may not be a good match. Iāll say that right now it brings more to my systemās table than the Audio Magic can offer, even with its own strengths (triangles, for example, sound a bit more luscious with the M-1). Iāll keep track of whether thereās any further change over time. Given that I practically stole it from the Synergistic guys at AXPONA 
, Iāll say itās worth what I paid for it. Itās a good fuse, although I will be interested in trying an M-2.
My wife, BTW, gave me her thoughts before I expressed any of mine (I try not to even glance at her when sheās helping me with this stuff 
). Her feelings are consistent with mine.
And oh yes, we picked the direction we both thought sounded better as the first order of business, some days ago when we started.

And which direction did you both decide on?
āSā closer to the fuse cap, but I really didnāt want to say initially as I donāt think thatās any indication of what will work for anyone else. But since you asked, thatās my answer. Everyone should try it for themselves and choose. My choice is meaningless.

Are you going to try an M2 in the P20?
Thanks. Is that how the stock fuse comes in the various PowerPlants? I canāt even remember. I have an M1 in my P3, which doesnāt come with an S.
Yep, thatās the plan.

Sorry for the confusion, Tony. The āSā is with reference to the markings on the Synergistic Pink fuse.
I just pulled out my old stock fuse. It looks like both ends have a boxed S on them, along with the voltage and amperage information. So, no indication of direction that I can see. I had forgotten that.
Synergistic Research fuses have an āSRā marking on them. Do you not have this?
Iām talking about the fuse that came with my P3. I donāt currently have any SR fuses. I used to have a Purple, but it died on me. I had applied some Furutech Nano Liquid to the ends, and I think it didnāt like that. My Audio Magic M1s are doing fine (one in my P3, one in my Marantz Model 30 amp).
I doubt itās the nano liquid. I have 5 Purples in use, each with a light coat of nano liquid on the caps, no issues.
