Fuses and confusion

1) You are absolutely wasting your time changing fuses.  The only possible fuse change that would affect the amp's sound is if there are fuses in line with the speakers.

2) If you open the chassis of a component and start messing with it's internal fuses you will unquestionably void your warranty, regardless of what anyone says here.  Don't be foolish.

...and 3) Millercarbon is a rather well-known shill for Synergistic Research and has hawked their questionable wares on many threads on this forum.  His advice is tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot as far as warranty goes.

Funny Fused and Confused,


no name callin', ay!!

Your funny too. Void the warranty? for replacing a fuse, funny guy, the only thing that WON'T void the warranty, is  replacing the fuse.

The void/tamper proof tape is actually void if there is a fuse under it.. That's a US requirement. ALL equipment can be looked at and serviced by YOU. YOU just might not be reimbursed, for you labor. I've always been reimbursed for my parts and a reasonable labor rate..

Just like your Chevy, Ford, BMW ect.. you can do the service and the work, it voids NO WARRANTY...

You sure sound like someone else that uses the "shill", word. What the heck is a shill? Sound's Yiddish.  Because I'm 10% American Jew, 15% American African, 25% American Native, and 40% American Irish, but 100 % blue eyed American demon! I'll let it slide, but no name callin...Oh! The Wifes, 100% American Latina... Cha Cha Cha, Amigo!

You are wrong about the warranty.  Unless you are a certified electronics repair technician you will void the warranty if you open the box, and the claim that "ALL equipment can be looked at and serviced by YOU" is absolute hogwash.  I've never heard anything so ridiculous.  A "shill" is defined in the dictionary as "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others."

You may be good at fixing cars, but you should stop giving bad advice about electronic equipment.

You are funny, again!! Cars?

 And who would certify me? LOL YOU? I'm rollin' on the floor..

International Machinist and Aerospace workers. NASA  at one point in my life, and a few other small "uncar" companies. I'm a HD master mechanic, retired. Hydraulics, tunnel boring machines, large diameter shaft boring vertical or horizontal, trench cutters, anchor drills.

Though I did serve part of my master/tec training at a Studebaker/Rambler/AMC shop in the 70s

I've opened every box on the planet and been paid for it all. Let alone stereo gear. Your funny! Do you really think the stereo world of electronics is "The high end" of electronic repair.. Holy cow buddy, wake up.. 

EEs don't work on stereo gear, just the ones that aren't working as electricians so they can get paid a decent wage. Been my experience.

Same with Sound Engineers, I've worked with a lot of sound engineers,
at  excavations all over, maybe one in 30 or so had anything to do with speakers, there is no money in it...

Your good advise is someone is "wasting money" when they get a "NOTED" improvement by changing a fuse.
Again, good advise, need not have unkind words, sir! If you listen you might learn, something YOU can use..

"The fuse won't work man"
Funny guy.

Regards maybe...
