New SR Master fuse review vs AM M1 and Purple to follow

Sound like a job for a cable fanatic whose other job is Golfing. I wonderwhere wwe can find that person?

I have done that to Dragon HC in the past. The SQ was quite dark and murky if I remember right. Each ring affect the other two cables so the effect was too strong. One ring covers three cables is the way to go.

Maybe the rings were too big? Perhaps they could be considerably smaller.

Currently I am using a 2" ring with 1 1/2 overlap on Dragon HC, and 2" with 1 wrap on Dragon Source. When I tried the three rings on Dragon HC it was 1 1/2" ring on each as I remembered. I did not like it at all.

a 3" ring on PSR-11 seems to work great, I will switch 11 with 14 again because Massive update makes MK2 sounding richer than before. So, I wonder how will PSR-14 sound in pre now.

Lord of the Rings! :muscle:

I called peacock today because there is still the exchange offer Master - Purple.
He said a second master would give an improvement in terms of resolution, but probably not as much as the first backup. For the main supply in the fuse box
he likes the Audio magic M1. The new Hifituning Diamond should have more resolution and space than its predecessor but sound a little brighter. Since my preamp is still being repaired, I’ll wait a little longer. I don’t want to test it on the borrowed preamp. I have until the end of the month to think about the offer.
He currently has a used V16 Dream. :thinking:However, he also has Furutech V1 :roll_eyes:
Would the V16 make my rig sound better than the dragon at the power plant? The V16 is meant to be a universal one.

I’m still too gabberflasted by the new Massive FPGA load (now on day six) to even try what will be the third SR Master in my system, this time destined for the BHK Pre.

Maybe by the weekend…

Master Fuse returned to cable company on receipt received three days ago. Stil no acknowledgement ofr refund. ThisSR Master fuse purchase is reminding me of aAli Expres return. Except Ali Express cable cost a whole lot less and harmed the music playback about to the same proportion to olesser price.

I’m curious about the effect. I am also toying with the idea of ​​another master.

Guess who just discovered that he already has three Master Fuses in his system?

No wonder its sounding so good now that I have 200+ hours on Massive. I honestly didn’t think my system could sound any better with another Master, and it most likely can’t.

I have a Master fuse in my Nordost QB8 power distributor, the DS Mk2 and the BHK pre and I’d need two for the Schiit Tyr monos, so I don’t really have another high-return place for a fourth Master in the system. so I guess it will go back…

Just adding to the Master Chat - i went one into the Gryphon Diablo 300 - and out of the box i was impressed but unfortunately as it burn in it just fell away - initially additional detail in the mid-range but as we hit over 300 - 400 hours i just felt it started to drop off even further. Weekend just gone went back too purple and on this component purple wins hands down.

Maybe the issue for me is i went to far down the chain.

I am still back on the SR band wagon as just upgrade the rel sub cables to the Atmosphere X Reference Rel Spec Subwoofer cables - OMG now that’s an upgrade in sound quality

Anyway fuse back in the mail to highend.

Hello. Do I understand that it sounded good with the master at the beginning and got worse with longer playing time? I’m also considering swapping a Lila for a Master. Combination Master and Lila sounds good together. I would be interested in how two masters work in my system. Can you try the master elsewhere in your system. In my power plant and my preamp it sounds better than Lila.

Yep it actually seemed to break down and get worse and the issue i had is it seemed to become random while i have had some great nights with it there have been some nights where i just gave up

Haven’t sent yet so will give it a go in my P20 tonight

It’s not so bad to try a larger fuse value. Only if the value of the fuse is too weak can it blow and break. :see_no_evil:

Interesting. Mine is in the Diablo 300 no such issue. Never had a purple in it I went from Orange to Master. Maybe I need to try an M1 to hear if there’s a difference. I’ve had no issues with the master other than price!

It may not completely break in yet. Recently I removed the Master and put back the stock fuse because I want to try it in the streamer. But SQ became so bad that I had to put Master back in. The excellent SQ returned within 30 minutes.

I will give it another 50 hours at least. But for some this fuse does not work well in their systems. Gryphon is a different beast. Let us know if you like it better in P20.

Wrong stone, the right one has the correct carving:

Not for Mclntosh, Graphon, BACCH, speakers with thousand drivers, and xxxxxx. It’s a large one more like a monument.
