New pink fuse from SR

I'd be interested to know if someone has a full on sytem solely using synergistic research master fuses in absolutely everything including uk plugs etc..
from talking to SR , they only recommnded 1 Master fuse in the system. I have 2 systems both different configurations, My main system is Sugden mono blocks, so the Master went into the DAC. My basement system I have the Sugden IA-4 integrated amp, o the Master went in that. I have pinks in everything else. Except I have purples in the mono blocks. The end result was still astounding.
 
I tried the SR Master and it just was too edgy. I gave it a fair shot and burned it in for around 100 hours. Tried it in one direction and then the other. It sounded a bit better after the 100 hours, but the forwardness and shouty nature on vocals and upper midrange emphasis was still there. It's just not my "cup of tea". I prefer the Audio-Magic M2. It has none of the edginess and provides a nice holographic soundstage while allowing one to hear into the soundstage.

I really love the feedback, I think others were having great success using a combination of pink & purple fuses and to add the one master fuse to it must be something else. I'm glad to know this for when I get a great system up and going whilst also adding SR Electromagnetic Circuit Transducers to the mix.

I've had the pink fuse in my system for a while now, and I'm very curious about the master fuse. But I'm wondering where I should place it: in my PSaudio P10 or my integrated amplifier? Does anyone have any ideas or opinions?

On my main system Sr told me to put the master fuse in my DAC, because I was running mono blocks. On my basement system, I put the master in my integrated amp. I have purple fuses in my mono blocks, and pinks in all the rest of my gear.

My understanding is that they are best placed in digital or power-related to components. They can be a little bright, lean, or midrange-scooped in an amp, but I think that depends on the amp.
 
I put the SR Master Fuse in my front-end/source components (i.e. Server/Streamer and DAC) because that's where it rendered the most noticeable and improved results.
