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 Len and Rodman99999.
Roadman99999, I like your idea of first replacing the AC Main fuse first.
BTW, what differences did the fuses make in your systems?
The best way I can describe the difference is, "more organic". ie: Vocals sounded more as though they were coming from an actual body(chest resonance), upright bass had a woodier body resonance, I could hear more skin and stick on drums, could sense more of the rosin in the sound of bowed instruments. One probably wouldn't miss these things, if they never listened to live music(or, at least, not often or closely enough).
I agree with Rodman 99999, also Maggies are known for the ribbon tweeter with outstanding high`s, the fuses gave an obvious improvement with even more resolution way way up in frequency, that was a pleasent supprise.

Milpai,

Glad to see you are thinking about this upgrade. Agree with the above description of benefits in general. I realize these are a fairly spendy add-on, especially if you are replacing multiple fuses. But for the benefit I think they provide in terms of improved sound, I am surprised at least some high end manufacturers do not specify them as OEM.
