desbiss Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I should clarify that the pic you refer to is not my Aurender, mine doesn't have the fuse details depicted on the chassis as with that image. That specific image was provided to me by Aurender when I was enquiring about fuse orientation. (The fuses I purchased are directional so I needed to understand the direction of current flow.)

Can you share the fuse size and type?. thanks, Russ 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment
desbiss Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd highly encourage taking the fuses out of yours to confirm what type you require (as they may not be the same as my model). With that recommendation aside, I checked my Cableco orders from the time frame of my earlier posts and I believe two of the following were ordered for this application: Supreme Small (20mm/.75) Slow Blow (T) Type from HIFi-Tuning - Small Fuse [5x20mm] 2A. Again, I'd recommend comparing these details to the fuses in your model before replacement of your originals. Link to comment

russellbobby Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just opened mine up ( N100S) and only 1 fuse in the lower compartment. Works fine and sounds great. I have a email into Aurender support. 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment

I have a email into Aurender support. There is a jumper in the upper compartment on the N100S ( would think it is the same way for all the N series) You can replace the jumper with a fuse but it is not necessary.

Will reserve comment for a few days. 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment
michaelD Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have a N10 and there are two fuses just like in the picture from what I can see this unit needs both but not completely sure. Yes they are both the small version of fuse, 2A and slow blow. I got the same picture from Aurender I assume the arrows show the current direction is that right? I just ordered the new Synergistic Research black fuses should have them for the weekend and will give them a try. I would be interested in russellbobby comments on the red fuses. 2 Channel: Bricasti M20, 21 & M28 SE /Aurender N30SA and MC10 Master clock Treatments: Acoustical panels(F, S & R walls) Misc.: SR Master Fuses Speakers: Martin Logan CLX ART (Dark Cherry) w/30# weights / 2-ML 212's Grounding: QKore 1&6 / Networking: SOtM switch, clock and Pwr Supply / AQ Diamond /SR Router Power: Furutech GTX-DNCF / Oyaide inwall wire Nordost: 2-QB8 III, QV2's, QK1's, QSine, QWave, QX4, TC Kones, Sort Fut & LIft / Full OG Loom / 3-QSource & 12-QPoints, QNet, V2 Network Misc.: iPad 6 /Custom Rack Media Rm: ML: 13A's, 2-Descent i's, 6- Vanquish, Focus / 3-Parasound A23 / Legacy iV-3 Ultra / 77" LG 4k OLED / Anthem AVM90 / Pioneer Elite DVD Nordost: Odin/T2/H2, BC Kones, H2 Network, V2 HDMI Link to comment
desbiss Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Correct, the arrows represent current flow and are a consideration with directional fuses. Link to comment
rwwjr44 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I tried replacing fuses on other equipment and I don't know if the changes in sound were worth the expense. Perhaps when I have more time after the semester as there is always that itch to better the sound.

edje Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Old conversation, new question: I tried to replace the fuses on my Aurender A10. I can slide the fuse holder out only partially, and then it is stuck. Is t not possible to pull it out completely? Or do I have to replace the fuses like that? It is not easy to get them out in this way, only with a little screwdriver. Link to comment
russellbobby Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yes just pop the exposed side out and gently pull out. 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment
edje Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 So it is possible to remove the fuse holder from the unit? I tried with quite some force, but did not come loose. Link to comment
russellbobby Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Just slide the tray out till it stops. Take a small screwdriver and gently pry the exposed fuse end and the fuse will release from the one side. Pull the fuse out. Slide in the new fuse and snap back into place. Once you do it you will see how easy it is. I went from a SR Red to SR Black in an N100s and noticed a small bump in SQ I went from a SR Black to SR Blue in my A10 and again a noticeable but slight bump. It take two fuses so it can be a little costly. I would probably take the 250.00-300.00 or so spent on 2 boutique fuses and spend it on a upgraded power cord or isolation . Seems like a bigger bang for the buck. Stillpoints Ultra Minis was a huge upgrade and for some reason power cords have a larger affect on the A10 than I have experienced with my other equipment. Good luck with your A10. I just upgraded to Audience Au 24 SX cable line and it is amazing how good the A10 can sound. 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment
edje Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ok, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your explanation! Link to comment
alfa Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I have an Aurender X100L. I need to know spec of fuse and how to physically change the same on the unit. I’m considering Synergistic Research. Link to comment
