Replacement fuse for McCormack DNA 225 and RLD-1

Hi There,

Does any one out there has info handy on fuses (specs and how many) for McCormack DNA-225 Amp and RLD-1 Pre?

Also, have you tried hi-fi and/or furutech replacement fuses with McCormack RevA / Gold upgrades and would you recommend incurring the expense?

I think DNA225 has 1 main external and 5-6 internal fuses, so @Furutech prices it will add up to about $300!

Thanks!

Nvanderstoep, let me confirm if I got you right - you are suggesting "to use 'magnets' instead of a 'furutech fuse', as they have comparable performance"?? If so, what about protection (provided by fuse)? Wouldn't a magnet negate the purpose of putting a fuse in the circuit??

A friend of mine uses magnets in his equipment and ,yes , there is no protection when you do so. A tweak too far for me but I have read on other forums that it has its advocates.

No, use the furutech fuse instead of magnets. As good as magnets are, there is no protection, and you get all the same sound with the furutech. Sorry for the late reply
