Synergistic Red Fuse ...

I'm pleased to hear that you got the blown fuse issue resolved to your satisfaction.  Thanks for posting the results. More often than not, businesses hear the complaints and not the compliments.

The SR crew led by Ted Denny realize that the true boss that every employee, from the janitor to the CEO, has in a private company is the customer. The success of any company relies eventually on satisfied customers. Satisfy the customer and the business thrives.  Don't take care of the customer and the business will fail. It is the customer that determines if the doors of the business opens the next day or not.

I don't know about a transport, but swapping out the two fuses in my CD player absolutely transformed the player.

On Clifford Brown ... Yes, he was taken way too young by a car accident. He was only 25 years old at the time of his death. He was an absolute genius. Lucky for us that he recorded so much of his work.

Back in the 70's, I was going through a record bin at Aaron's Records in the Fairfax district in Los Angeles when I noticed a nicely dressed man in a suit looking through the Clifford Brown albums. I asked him if he was into "Clifford?" He said ... "Oh yes, I play trombone for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. All of us brass players know about Clifford."

Clifford Brown not only had blazing technique, but he played with soul too.

Over the years, I've collected most of Clifford's albums. Back in the early 70's I ran across an Ex-DJ from Hawaii. He didn't want to move his albums back to Hawaii, so he sold me whatever I wanted for two bucks per album. I cleaned up on his Clifford Brown records on EmArcy ... all in mint condition. Two bucks apiece.

My favorite is the one with the red jacket and the bell of the trumpet on the cover. The cut "Autumn in New York" really gets to the soul of Clifford's playing.

Tommy lion,
Clifford Brown is a genuine iconic jazz trumpeter.  As I became more deeply involved with jazz I discovered the fabulous  Bebop trumpeter Fats Navarro and could hear some similarities between him and Clifford.  It was later that I read Clifford credited Navarro as being an early and significant influence on his developing style. "Sarah Vaughan With Clifford Brown " is an all time classic recording in my opinion.

I replaced the stock fuse in my theta pearl cd transport with the 'red'. It was a very noticeable improvement for the good. Everything improved. Much like the upgrade of good a/c power and a better power cord for it. Maybe I am getting carried away but it was easily a noticeable improvement for the good.

You won't get "carried away" until you swap out the red fuse for one of the black fuses. :-)

OP

On the subject of changing fuses in SACD players, going to the SR Black fuse makes a major improvement. If on a budget please try a Black fuse first.at the incoming power cord location, The Marantz has six additional rail fuses. And in fact I replaced all six fuses one at a time giving each fuse 150 hrs of burn in, before adding the next fuse. I really was surprised that the fuse that supplies power to transport mechanism made a significant difference but it did. 

It is so inspiring to have one's system really dialed in. I do think the Black fuses make that event much easier to obtain.
