I see the fuse is locked down with clamps. How does one get that little sucker out. Forgive me but im technically incompetent. Can I use a screwdriver to pop it out....

thanks
I bought one as a lark for 30 bucks and have to agree with the above that after a few days it was impressive. FYI, sued with mapleshade cork blocks and greg straleys reality ICs. Too bad after my son picked it up, and moved it a few inches, it stopped tracking.

But to put my money where my mouth is i just bought another one on ebay and ordered a PS audio power punch. Hopefully it will be a bit more durable. If anyone wants one for parts let me know.

Im loathe to believe that a fuse change can make a real difference but im willing to try. So what fuse brand and value would you reccomend. Also after opening up the unit i see the fuse is locked down with clamps. How does one get that little sucker out. Forgive me but im technically incompetent.
glad this forum is getting some action. my ps power puch arrived but still waiting on my ebay replacements after my ps 1 died upon a week after it arrived. Ill report on the ps audio cord in a week or two

darn cant align a laser, as per above i cant even pop out a fuse....lol
this morning i cleaned the laser and took it out and put it back in to no avail. finally i slammed it against the wall a few times for fun. Viola it now works...

Re preliminary report on the power punch. Definate change in sound, lower bass, more clarity. A bit too much emphasis on the high hats. Overall, has toned down the midrange on this player. This is a preference but thats not what i was looking for. Note this a very prelimnary evaluation....ill update in a few or so....

on the bright sound...players are much more in the room and posses a bit more three d quality....
