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.

Well Mr. heavy mechanic I used to have a Lotta respect for you. Remember those interconnects from China filled with oil that you recommended ....you said they made a nice difference.  I bought a set...not only did they not make a difference all they did was leak that oil all over the floor. Do you know where they are now? In the garbage is where they are! Along with the  $65 I spent on them. I used to think that you were the man now I’m wondering if you’re not just a junk man. I’ve gotten suckered into so much crap in this audio world. If I wasn’t a quadriplegic I’d kick  my self! What a joke all this crap is. 
The fuse is likely mounted on a circuit board very close to the IEC power cord inlet.  You would have to take the cover off and potentially remove other circuit boards that are mounted on top to get to the main A/C power input board.  Since both of these players are high end transports that have some heavy analog boards, I would probably recommend a 2A fuse (it is likely a small 5x20mm fuse, but you would have to examine this to make sure).

that’s not the answer I was looking for.

And here we go again, 1 post and and a "staunch fuser" already, and to boot not looking for the truth, even though asking for it???? which was given by Ray.

BTW wrong forum also, "Mics-Audio" is the forum for this thread, as there’s NO "PRO" tech-talk available on this subject and never will be, not buy anyone with technical cred anyway, just by snake oil fusers.

Very dangerous for someone to play around with, that can't find this them for themselves.
I hope some of you fusers have insurance for telling them to do go ahead and play around with lethal mains potential components inside equipment!!!!.
Before this thread is drug down into a flame war, let's just ignore any negative comments and move forward.
