An "insane" upgrade for the U1 mini: FUSE. Which one?
Hi!
I'm gonna make a very strange, absurd, bizarre, irresponsible, inappropriate, extreme, perhaps stupid, and in any case wrapped in the empirical world of improving audiophilia, certainly good for the seller(s), but...
Which FUSE should I buy? (It's very difficolut to read the spec. of the original one)
Thanks.

If you're asking the spec of the original fuse, it'd be 2A fast blow for U1 MINI and most Lumin models, with some exceptions (like M1).

Fuse can make a huge difference even if you are using your LUMIN as a transport.

They are expensive, but Audio Magic are in another league of all the others!

Re: An "insane" upgrade for the U1 mini: FUSE. Which one?
Well, like a programmed machine here I am
HIFI Tuning (German brand) is inside the Lumin. As you can imagine, I can not “switch” from original to tuning, so what I’m writing is always after a while... playing from “A” to “B”.
I confess that I feel (it was listen) more “relaxed” with the HFT and that’s because more “space” in front of me (horizontal) and micro-details are “more”.
When I came “back” I was listening to (not feeling) a “warmer” but “closer” scene.
You have to know that the DAC its the same and cables are the same too; I am using a QNAP NAS so, I think “there” should be another improvement with a “Melco” I guess but now, anyway, the physical CD is behind.
Do not ask me why or how is it possible because it’s OFF TOPIC
Thank you for reading and goodbye!

If I may, one last warning: try another brand.

Re: An "insane" upgrade for the U1 mini: FUSE. Which one?
Ain't gonna happened here, thanks for your advice!
There are many reasons, let me write just a couple:
a) these "improvements" like you can read from my last post are... in a circle where listening and (moment) feelings are closer, even so I am sure about them. So, better for me, for my sys, to look for other upgrade like... changing NAS and search a "silentSSD-Melco" for example.
b) in EU, the HIFI Tuning its something about "the only one fuse Company" that have in stock a fuse compatible with Lumin U1 mini".
c) Why?
Have a good time!

Re: An "insane" upgrade for the U1 mini: FUSE. Which one?
A couple of points to ponder: If your machine is blowing fuses, then I suggest not installing replacement fuses at $150 USD a pop for troubleshooting purposes as that could get expensive.
Also, it is inadvisable to wrap a failed fuse in aluminum foil and reinstall it to see if you can get the device to work. (Been there. Done that.)

Be it in cables, be it in fuses, whatever, i stay away from rhodium and silver.
Only copper and gold finish.

Re: An "insane" upgrade for the U1 mini: FUSE. Which one?
So it would be a 2A fast blow in my U1...assuming it's like most Lumins? And a dumber question, where is that fuse in my U1?

I don't see it on my U1 power supply below the IEC socket unless I'm supposed to open the case...and I doubt that. Sorry, if I'm missing something obvious.
