Fuses and confusion

I am slowly upgrading my system and I am looking at the changing of fuses step. I have the following in my system:  Sunfire TGA-7401, Marantz AV8805, Carver Load Invariant amplifier, Marantz Ruby, and a Vault 2i. My questions are 1). Which of these components have\use fuses 2). Does changing the fuses invalidate the warranty? 3). Are there videos on changing the videos or do you just pop the hood and start looking. Please feel free to point out issues that I am not aware of and whether this is even relevant under my circumstances. Thanks in advance.

People should always check their warranties (if in effect) to see what conditions apply. It’s only common sense.

Some vendors may well void a warranty if the gear is opened up.

If you modify internals yourself, even just replacing a fuse, there is an even better chance warranty will be affected.

Vendors can’t afford to give customers a free pass to make changes then come running if a problem under warranty. It is usually not part of the deal!

Do not listen to anyone who just says "do it", no caveats, with gear under warranty. That is bad advice There may or may not be a problem.

If the fuse you put in is found to be the issue should a warranty repair ever be needed, then that is yet another story. It’s part of the risk you take.
