I thought I was the only one. I had the orange fuse and it was just awful in my PassLabs. So much so, it had me changeing cables to fix the harshness. The purple IMO is Devine. Everything just sounds more effortless, and musical with natural treble.
Accuphase, fuses
Hello,
Reaching out to owners of Accuphase amps and integrateds, and also digital components. Do you, or have you ever, tried to swap out the fuses with aftermarket fuses? I don't yet own Accuphase but am thinking about going that route. I see many photos online of the interior of Accuphase gear, but I see no obvious fuse holders. In fact, it looks like you would have to remove things in order to get in the vicinity of the power inlet. Which I am not about to do. If the fuses are inaccessible, that would almost be a relief. One less tweak to be done with. ;-)

Rfpirce, it may be awhile before I have a listen to my Accuphase. I do a rotation with my amps and speakers. I always use my Pass amp in winter. Cuts down on the heating bill! As good as the Accuphase sounds, the purple fuse will take it up an inch or so. I know 200 is a lot for a fuse, but IMO is has been well worth it. I only waited this long because I did not know there was a fuse in the Accuphase. Found out here it is located in the bottom of the amp.A6.3 amp. |
@rfprice , yes, I have a whole loom of the grey and blue cables XLR and RCA. The only cables I had before were the Oyaide Tunami Terzo series, not a supermarket here of cables to try out, the Accuphase were a level up in transparency. For the MM Ortofon Black, the cables were low enough capacitance to meet the specs for that cartridge, and they sound like 'no cables'. For Accuphase source components, they supply either a grey or blue RCA, depends on what level the source is. Equipment profile is here, FYI. |
@blisshifi I would use the SR fuses but the website does not publish the fuse discrimination curves, so it's not possible to replace a SR fuse with the original. There's fast and slo, but that doesn't follow a standard and the cutoff times can vary quite markedly. |
