Hey straightwire…
In my case just the SR Master in my P15 does the same for me as with
waymanchen…the rest of my system is SR Purple. Except for my Oppo
205 wherein the fuse is factory hardwired to the board…not easy to
change if at all.
A great upgrade for sure!!
Best wishes
Thanks davida and waymanchen11 for keeping us up to date as the fuses bed in.
I’m in the UK and have ordered two fuses.
In the UK we have 13 amp fuses in our mains power cords, so one for this and the other is the P20 internal fuse.
I’ve just submitted an email to Support asking for their definitive answer as to how the current flows for the internal fuse, whether from the cap to the body, or vice versa … and additionally if there’s any difference between the US and UK models in this respect.
As I’m in the UK I have to wait until approx the middle of March before I’ll receive my two fuses.
As for people who baulk at the asking price of the fuse it all depends on what you have ‘invested’ in your system. If it’s many thousands then for the improvements experienced by our two trusty early adopters then it’s definitely worth it.
As my P20 powers both a music and home theatre systems, including my projector, I feel it’s worth it.
Looking forward to mid March.
Please let us know what you think. I really like this idea. Looks like there are concern that additional power cord is needed, but I take the approach that the power cord before this digital fuse is just another in-wall power cord. Problem solved:)
Hey falling_leaves…
I have asked Scotte 1 to open up a thread on this topic…
separate from this thread to keep this thread from wandering
all over the place …where hopefully Scotte 1 will post his
experience with his Swiss Digital fusebox…
Thanks
Best wishes
Forgot to add that I am very much interested in reading Scotte 1’s review
of Swiss Digital fusebox…will be interesting to read
Thanks Scotte 1
Best wishes
Will do…
SEE
So now with just over 72 hours burn in time…
Sound stage continues to impress and so far none of the burn in
frustrations as with the SR Purple…
This is one amazing album…From Kevin Eubank’s guitar to Branford Marsalis
on tenor sax with Danny Ray alias Big Black on the Tumba Conga drums…wow
Impressive Tumba drum texture from hand slaps on the skin with many textures
and Tumba rim shots that arch across around behind the speakers that appear
from far left to over and around far right with Danny Ray’s skilled texture playing,
follow by a snap of Kevin Eubank’s guitar string zowie wow…
Have heard this album many many times since purchasing it in the mid 80s.
Trevor Pinnock’s Vivaldi’s English Concert is another stunner…in previous set ups
Trevor Pinnock’s clavier hidden somewhat…but with the SR Master fuse the clavier
though placed toward the back of the ensemble is very apparent, distinct in the background.
Well worth acquiring.
Leopold Mozart Conceri da Caccia imagery of a hunt through the woods
from musket fire to hounds braying and running off in the distance…
The amazing blatt of the french horns on track 5
Suites de Symphonies: Second Suite…another wow…
It seems then that the SR Master is panning out to be the real deal…
So for now best wishes everyone!!
Not being a musician makes it more difficult for me to explain
where my listening for differences is having heard the instrument
live in person. My listening is my own .00002…
Thanks for understanding…
So for checking sound quality differences things I listen for as
example:
How well do sounds appear, fade away as a vapor and hang
in 3d space. Listening for the faint reverberations in the distance
as instruments play without being lost due to complexity of music
or loudness of other instruments that would other wise mask
these fading sounds.
Take a bass piano sting…say a G played with sustain, does the body
of the sound occlude the vibrancy of the string or does the string’s
vibrations from onset attack to decay come through clearly and not sounding thin.
Listening for the same characteristics of all stringed instruments.
With percussion harder for me to explain, but I listen for slicing attacks
decays on the cymbals or the effects of crash, high hat, ride cymbals
snares, rim shots …these sorts of things.
For winds listening for textures, body, delicate smoothness or rowdy honks
and blat…
There is so much more,but just an idea of what I check for…
Thank you everyone for your patience especially from the musician among us…
hopefully this will help some folk…
Best wishes y’all
SR should give your money back on the M, considering how many are moving towards getting another “New King” fuse purely based on your review.
Luckily, I already made an illogical purchase on another thin “best” cable. So, I need at least one thousand hours to get to know it first before I start another illogical purchase.
Hopefully people will wait this is a time consuming process…and if
does pan out that their is a rush on the new SR Master…might put in
request a reimbursement…
So Donald et all…hang on to your AM M1 fuse…it is far to early …for final conclusion…
Don’t sell your AM M1s yet!!!
Why…well suppose you don’t like the SR Master but have sold your AM M1
prematurely…then what would you fall back on…stuck in a limbo…not good…
Wait again wait till more hours are on the new SR Master fuse…closing in on
96 hours burn time…too early yet to tell even though it is very promising…
Hard to know if it has hit a turn in the country winding road full of switchbacks
on the burn in route to that awesome panorama of sound we travel to arrive at.
So far the new SR Master fuse has not exhibited the burn in angst that the Orange
and Purple went through that we all know about.
Please be patient and wait …Myself am waiting to try the AM M1 fuse again to hear
where things all stand sound wise…
Best wishes everyone
Thanks for the pointer! I missed my M-1 already. it is in the box, and I am using stock fuse, it lacks magic, BIG time. Did I gather the hint that the Master could sound a bit too strong in some systems, like the turbo-charged M-1? Or was that just my wishful thinking that I should not have one?
No one is interested in my M-1 yet, so I am safe.
Don’t be a dummy, take it off the market and put it back into play !!!..
Wait …patience… wait…and see…time will tell…
Best wishes
It’s been two days of break-in and so I put back the AM M1 to see what the difference are and boy, I am shocked!! Right after playing a little on the SR Master which sounded better than ever, I changed it to the M1 and the sound collapsed. It was grayer and micro detail was diminished. I put back the Master and Wow, everything came back. The richness, the dense substantial images, the realism, and the dynamics and energy all came back. It wasn’t even close. It was more like a component upgrade! Unbelievably the highs has more richness, body and separation and the tightness and power in the bass really comes alive with this fuse! The voices are not just clearer, the personality of the singer also comes through much better. This is also due to the fact that the DS MK2’s resolution now matches the rest of my system more and is most sensitive to tweaks and changes.
I say if your system has the resolution, this SR Master will really impress you and might even blow you away on how good it is!
Great to know! And you just knocked down my M-1 price by 10%, or more. 
Oh great. Now I hate you. 
Is this improvement giving you the itch to get another Master for the MkIl or another component?
Or would this be too much of a good thing? We have long talked about the cumulative effect of SR fuses to get more forward and bright with quantity. At least that is what they did for me and I settled with MI’s throughout. Don’t want to mix and match fuses p, but you make a compelling case.
The SR purple does put a lot of live and energy to the sound, but it also leans out a bit, and tilts the balance towards the upper registers. The SR Master is also very lively and energetic, but does not lean out, and is much better balanced. It lets you hear even more textures and richness like the M1, only with greater clarity and detail. In my system, just one Master is really more than enough. I don’t have a desire to get another, for now anyway. This is one powerful fuse, especially when you put it in a regenerator.
Lean out iis a good descriptor of what a SR purple does. I have four M-1s. Sold or gave away my purple fuses.
After adding in Bacch-dSP the sound scape gets s so distributed. Not sure whether a 600 dollar SR master will help. My last M-1 replaced a way hotter DS Mk2 beeswax ultimate SHD which was too hot at times for the M1 brought balance back and made system more analog vinyl sound. Trying to decide if too much vinyl sound with Bacch-dSP. Switching off Bacch gets sound balance I like for frequencies but kills engagement. Maybe i should trial the beeswax ultimate SHD reinstall first or flip some M-1s first? I really liked SR purples until i found the saxophones tooting like they were on a bean burrito diet.
I put back the stock fuse, and on the second day the SQ was quite good. It’s not as good as M-1 but the sound is neutral and warmer than Purple. You should just try it first before trying another Beewax.
