Marantz SA11S3


I just bought the SA11S3 and I am very pleased with the sound. It replaced a Sony ES 5400 which is no slouch. As good as the Sony is, the Marantz just sounds better. No buyers remorse here. I have a couple of questions.              
1. I'm currently running single ended cable. Is there any advantage going balanced line? It's being used with the Marantz PM11S3 amp.
2. When not in use should I leave it on all time or should I put it in standby and let it warm up for a half hour or so before I listen? 
I know the standard answer is "Try it both ways and see which sounds better" and I can't argue with that. I'm just curious as to what other owners are doing. Thanks.

Actually, replacing a fuse with a better fuse makes all the sense in the world.  How much do we spend on power cables? Yet it all goes on through a 10cent fuse, please.... It makes perfect sense and SHOULD make a difference.  I would have replaced mine long time ago.  I just cannot get the damn lid off
How do I use the flat screwdriver to pry it back.  Do I install screwdriver in the back where there is are two lipped areas?
Actually, they do make a 2.5 amp small slo blo.  Why would I want to put in a 3 amp for the power fuse.
