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.

A "shill" is defined in the dictionary as "an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others." 

So you're saying I'm in cahoots with Ted Denney III. And all my enthusiastic comments, its all just an act. 

Right. I see.   

Now here's one for you: delusion. Look it up. 

Here, let me save you some time:
"an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder."

They all have fuses. Changing them does nothing to the warranty. They are usually pretty obvious.  

Three are most common. One is a round knob on the back that says Fuse. These are spring loaded and usually push forward while turning, then pull out. If you don't see that one then look real close at the IEC socket where the power cord plugs in. Hidden very small on these is a little tab that is a pain to get out unless you use something like a small screwdriver to catch the tiny little tab and pull. These holders use a physically smaller size fuse. 

If you can't find either of those then unscrew the cover and have a look inside. The fuse will usually be very near where the AC power comes in. 

Replace your crap factory fuse with Synergistic Orange, it will be like going to a really good power cord. Hard to believe. Direction definitely makes a difference. So if its a remove the cover situation don't screw everything back together until you're sure.
