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. ;-)

The fuse on my A 65 is on the bottom, simply turn over the amp, remove the bottom plate and you’ll see the fuse. I replaced mine years ago when the SR Blue Fuse when it was the new hot thing and yes it cleaned things up and have just recently thought of changing it to the new purple fuse.

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