Fuse upgrade on Marantz SA-10 & Marantz UD9004

Hi everyone,

As the title reads, I own both Marantz players (the SA-10 in my main system and the UD9004 on my HT room).

Have any of you find if there are replaceable fuses to upgrade inside them and where are they located or their values? I’ve heard you can improve the sound quality significantly when doing it.
I’ll appreciate any help!

Best,

Antonio.

I use 4 HiFi Tuning Silver Star fuses on my Marantz SA15S2b and they make an improvement once the stock ones that anyone can hear. Looking at the inside shots of a SA-10, I can't see where there are fuses. They might be on a lower board and if so, I'd leave it as is.

All 4 fuses on mine are located near the center of the player (in the open on the circuit board) so it was easy to get at them. I couldn't locate one at or near the IEC inlet and if there is one in there, I left it as is.

All the best,Nonoise

raysmtb1 : I respect your opinion; however, that’s not the answer I was looking for. Thanks anyway.

nonoise: Thanks for your input. I’ve not been able neither to locate the fuses inside (if there’s any on them). Let’s see if other A’goners can jump in the thread and give us some feedback.
