Changing Fuses on McIntosh C500

Hi,

Does anyone has any experience changing stock fuses to audiophile fuses (Hifi Tuning) for the McIntosh C500 Tube preamp & controller? Is it worth the while in terms of improvement in sonics?

Am contemplating doing that, but got no advice or details on the type and number of fuses in both chassis. Will really appreciate if anyone can advise here.

Thanks

FWIW, the owner's manual of my C220 preamp notes that the correct fuse values are printed on the rear panel above the fuse location.

Another FWIW - while some McIntosh owners report improvements when upgrading the mains fuse, I have yet to read one McIntosh owner that heard any improvements by replacing the internal fuses.
