Purple fuse upgrade

Okay M-1 #2 showed up. It is going straight to LPS powering my Netgear Router Switch that I previously absorberfied with AB7050HF and runs the tuned Whisper Elite. First out of the gate Sony Rollins I”m an Old Cowhand on Way out West.

The SR Purple let some of Sonny’s sax notes sound like a campfire surrounded by Cowpokes after Pork and Beans at the Chuck Wagon in a free form flatulence contest The M-1 had no unrestrained toots escaping Sonny’s Sax. Percussion and bass better too All with a cold fuse.

It is a good song to see it your set up is right.

Looks like I will need a third M-1 soon. The Ulitimate Premier may be a weak link in the system. It’s on the warmer side for sure.

Might get a replacement under warranty :grin
Geepers…a Purple flatulent fuse…did you get a measure methane
from all that? :grin: :smile:

Graphene generated methane wow…just what we need in our
energy starved nation… :grin:

Maybe you could explain that to Ted Denney…he might need to
examine this new phenomena and have asr measure the density
and quality of the methane released… :grin:

You might need a gas mask…

What else will be learned from fuses?

Best wishes

Ah ah ah, the best audiophile review words ever heard!

Well the notes come in around 40 second area. I noticed it last night. I had previous experience with cables that gave those notes a raspberry flubbering sound. I had not heard it in several years until purple went into LPS. It is a distortion of sorts

The 2nd M-1 still needs to open up. The non flatulence was a good indicator of a still better experience is waiting compared to the purple. Remember I had a stock fuse there before. The power to digital on my router is a tell all, hear all in my cable trials Luckily not smell all in this case.

I will never understand this.

Not pulling your leg or pulling any fingers on this one. My father used to pull that dirty trick to my sister and I. It was magic to a small child. Lol

Yeah I know. It is supposed to be only 1’s and 0’s. But for some reason a digital switch matters and the power it sees AC converted to DC

Even the DC cable to the LPS matters, like in my Farad. Just like the fuses in my P20 with the Purple and M-1. I tried both the Farad level 2 copper and silver DC cables which are both excellent, but the copper is balanced warmer and thicker than the silver, similar to the differences in the Purple and M-1 fuses.

27 hours on the M-1 remains a flatulence free fuse. The. Bottom end is finslly starting to open.

The ST fuse past purple will be the raspberry.

I’m really enjoying M1 on my PS15.
Is the new consensus to get M1 for BHK Pre and DS Sr too? Did anyone test it and found it to push SQ further?

My second M-1 in my modem switch LPS was sounding funky last night. Too much presence or mids. I had too flip because I lost track which side purple sounded better. The LPS it is hard to determine power flow direction.

It was night and day difference the balance was perfect. Tonight it is coming into its own. After 150 hours I will move it too the HDPLEX300.

I thought I read somewhere that the “S” should point toward the hot side of the IEC.

EDITED: I originally said ‘R’, meant ‘S’

Some say M-1 isn’t directional. It was night and day difference. the SR I had to flip in the LPS too. It is easy figuring the correct flow on P-20 not on that LPS you have to listen.

Vmax, so are you saying the M-1 is directional?

I have placed an order for a second M-1 to test in BHK Pre and for a third M-1 in SPP, next week (I live in Italy) I hope they arrive and I’ll be able to share my thoughts about improvements focused only on analog path.
Other members here maybe can try the King in BHK Pre even before.
Others reported yesterday some doubts about too much M-1s in a system, it seems that more experiments are needed to find out the right balance between King and Purple. Happy tweaking days are coming.

Yes it is in my system. Especially in the LPS powering digital. The direction involves having the M-1 lettering so bottom of the center V in M acts as arrowhead of current flow. Whether Audio Magic takes care with the label application for direction-they may not. The difference is clearly audible flipping it at least that is the case early in break in.

Interesting. Wouldn’t this (I hope!) be consistent with how we place it in the Powerplants? Doesn’t the power/current flow from the cap “into” the PP?

That is correct as I understand it. Further, I understand that all PSA product power flows from cap to unit.

Not necessarily.
My measurements show the opposite, at least on the P-10 and the DMP.
