Anyone see this Marantz SA11S2 vs KI Pearl review?


He claims just replacing the SA11S2 fuses (albeit $300 worth of "audiophile" fuses) turns the CDP to a different machine. Anyone have this experience?

I had the fuses replaced on my SA11s1 , it made a small but worth while improvement .
The KI Pearl sounded about the same to me , but no XLR outs .
Have A great day .
The cheap fuses that come with any product are the weak link. Its one of those 'why didn't I see that before?' moments. Consider all the upgrades and mods before and after that fuse. Why stop there? Its a quick and easy fix.
I turned a mid-fi integrated into something a heck of a lot better by replacing 2 fuses.
