Replaced in amp too with very positive results. Note that my system doesn’t have any special power cables but powered by Equitech.

Can you guide me with ideal Fuse Upgrade for Parasound A21 power amplifier? ( Links if any)
The Main fuse is slow blow 12A rated which I'll be trying to Change first & there are four 8A fuses inside which I'm not looking to change Currently.
Thanks

Thanks I checked it, it's Slow blow 6.3A fuse for my Parasound a21, I guess.
It comes in two sizes- big and small. Rest you already have like slow blow 12a. I bought them from vhaudio.
Whether there is a sonic improvement by changing cables or not is something that you would have to find it for yourself.. I have not tried it and thus would not be able to suggest either way. Having said that I would recommend getting everything in your system, including the room treatment nailed down first and then only proceed to trying change of power cords if you must.
As for me I don't have a hifi rig that would be the most revealing..heck my music room is a square dungeon.. so I am far from trying it out.

Hi Doc, I'm using Synergistic Research blue fuse for Parasound and its a good improvement. Tried Hifi tuning silver earlier, blue fuse is better than silver.

You need to check why fuse blew up.Unless there is something in PSU ,fuse will hardly blow up.Try new fuse without connecting speakers if am is getting on for 20-30mins.
Then try some extra/other speakers to check if amp works well.

To me powercord do change sound to some extend. 0.75 sqmm sounds dynamic,
1 sqmm improves weight in sound, 1.5sqmm is very cold sounding.More the guage, more the cold sound l feel.Poorly designed cables sounds edgy.Not tried high end cables in my setup,but used some good power cables.

Don't buy local fuses if you are planning to use them in expensive gear. Fast blow means that your gear will blow before the fuse if you buy local.

SB fuse has some coil inside and does not blow with transient or impulse or inrush current. FB are notorious in handling in rush current I think. But some expert need to confirm this.

I was just kidding. I had some bad experiences many years ago with some local fuses. It said fast blow on the cover. But my components blew instead of the fuse. I learned my lesson and now buy only from brands that have made a name for themselves making these things.

Do you mean the IEC connector?
Btw, anyone have experience in automotive type fuses. I have never experienced any blown fuse in past 15 years till date. Before the fuse blow, it's the equipment that fails that was hooked. I think most are overrated.
