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. ;-)

Ah, the bottom. That makes sense. SR Purple is what I use now in a few of my components. Did you experiment with directionality?

Might be prudent.

I don't yet own an Accuphase amp, but the difficulty of getting to the fuse may deter me from trying to tweak it that way. 

I have never tried the blue fuse, so I can't say. I can tell you that the purple is very good.

720, I meant. I don't suppose you've tested the balanced vs unbalanced connections between your Accuphase digital gear and amplifier?

Please report back after you receive the purple fuse. Would love to hear your impressions.

Has anyone tried Accuphase interconnect cables? I see they have silver-plated OFC cables that are surprisingly reasonably priced.

Thanks for this. I see you have the 750 player. I'm beginning to flirt with buying the new 770. That's wonderful if they include a pair of their cables. Only RCA?

I've read here and there that Accuphase components sound best with their stock power cords than with aftermarket cords. Do you have any insight on that? Are you using the stock cords?
