New Parasound blows fuse?


Advise please.
Anyone experienced this.
Just received a new Parasound Halo integrated. Voltage was correct. We have good power in Singapore.

Connected power cable
Turned on main switch (front not turned on yet)
Loud cracker sound
Removed fuse
Fuse completely shattered
Fuse rating was correct

Cleaned up the connector
Parasound had the foresight to supply a spare fuse
Dealer says to try again with new fuse.
Should I try again or call the dealer?
Should I ask for a new unit?
I am afraid to try it. Its brand new. Not even a little sound from it yet, except the blowing of the fuse.

Could the speakers cause this? Note that the front panel switch was not turned on yet. The fuse blew before that that was done.

Very very broken hearted. Was waiting in mega anticipation to hear the music.

Pls advise.

Retry the fuse.


It’s quite possible the fuse you started with was damaged in transit. Second one blows, unplug it and have it serviced.

Thank you all. 

Called the dealer. They came down and rechecked ; the unit was dead. New fuse did not work. Could not power up.

They came with their showroom set. Swopped it and it worked fine. They will replace the unit this week. It is a holiday today. Chinese New Year. And, yet they came. Double Kudos to XAudio Singapore.

The Parasound Hint 6 and ATC SCM40 worked well. The ATC dealer used wire jumpers for the speaker. Same as the speaker cable wire. They supplied the cables. 

Overall, the system was what I had hoped for. Smiling from ear to ear. 

Cheers t'y'all and happy Chinese New Year .


The dealer should have left you the demo unit until new one arrives. Poor customer service.
