Default Changing Fuses in C2600 and Mc452

Hi all

I am contemplating upgrading fuses in my preamp and poweramp.

While I see the fuse holder for the Mc452 and believe it to be a 15a 250v fast blow that is 6.3mm x 32 mm that should be relatively straightforward to swap out, I do not see where the fuse is for the C2600 and what specifications are necessary for the preamp?

Do any of you have any knowledge or experience on this that you could kindly share?

Hi there, I was wondering the same thing. How much of a difference can an upgraded fuse make to a system? Are there any other fuses to swap out on the 452 other than the one I see on the back of the unit?

I hear rave reviews on the Synergystic Research Blue fuses and given some of the $$ we spend on this hobby, why the heck not?
Now if I can only figure out where and what fuses I need for the C2600 and Mc452

I think if you search for HI tuning fuses we have many threads on fuses and upgrades, most like the change.
