Fuses that matter.

Mapman, I know your concerns but most components have externally accessible fuses.

Accidents happen, and there are many other much less risky ways to tweak for better sound. In some cases, vendors might even void a warranty if the device is opened up by anyone not authorized."

Thanks for the words of caution. Crap, I already had my Oppo modded! Please don't rat me out to Oppo. Lol

Just a short update.
A couple of my friends reported back that they are satisfied with the AMR fuses that they purchased.

The fellow with the Maggies noticed an improvemnt,just waiting for another update about how an AMR fuse does with his Rega amp.

A year ago, I wouldn't have been able to give them one for free to try in their gear for fear of some mishap.

I see some are still hesitant to try them,but the ones that can be replaced in the IEC power inlets most gear have doesn't require a degree in EE.

I can also state that a .5 amp fuse will blow if placed where a 5 amp fuse is supposed to be.

Lesson, always check the fine print on the fuse,now I use a magnefying glass.

I guess all the reviewers who show the innards of the gear they are reviewing have voided the warranties?

I'm curious,how about some references to the less risky tweaks?

I'm always open to investigate new ways to get better sound.
The upgraded fuses have been simple to install and not very costly(AMR-$20.00) and I've had no issues.

After all the more costly upgrades and tweaks I've used, I'd say they are a bargain.They do more for less than the other things I've tried.

So fill me in.

"They do more for less than any other tweak I've tried"
Lacee that's my conclusion also after using the Synergistic Research Quantum fuses .
They provided a very noticeable improvement. As long as one observes the proper fuse value markings and the slo -fast blow distinction there's much upside potential with little cost and minimal risk.
Regards,

I'm a little late to the party but my experiences with HiFi tuning fuses in my previous gear (MBL preamp) yielded a noticeable improvement in clarity. I am very bummed out that my non of my current gear has any external fuses I can change.
