Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21

Hi,
Have any Parasound A21 owners replaced the stock fuses with the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses in their amp? I understand that there are four 8A slow blow internal fuses and one 12A slow blow fuse on the rear panel. This is a awesome amp as-is. Just my curiosity.

Please share your experiences.

-Thanks,
milpai

Auxinput, thanks for the explanation. After reading all the posts on how a fuse can or cannot interact and affect the signal path, your's has what seems to be the least amount of spin. 

It could very well be that due to my bias it sunk in but I've been temporarily swayed by arguments that go against what I actually hear only to come back to believing what I actually hear. :-)

All the best,
Nonoise

It took about 4 days for my HiFi Silverstar fuses to break in. I kept the amp on 24/7 and would turn up the volume now and then to get a handle on the sound. I still don't know or understand how anyone can hear an immediate improvement, but that's been my experience. By the way, I replaced all the fuses at the same time, if that helps to clarify anything.

All the best,
Nonoise
