A cool drink of Aqua Formula

[Thieliste]

Do any of Aqua Formula owners had replaced the fuse on it?
It's not in the usual place near the power plug, so i think that we have to open the lid.
It's an easy job? Anyone can do it or it's better to take it to the dealer?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes i did it on both Formula and LinQ.
You have to open the top of the chassis and inside near the power inlet you will find a green fuse case, very easy.

Thank you very much for the reply.

You can do it yourself. It's under the cover at the back left corner under a green fuse holder.

Under the cover, you mean if we turn the dac upside down it's there or we have to unscrew the bolts and it's "inside" the dac?
(I'm at the office now and can't confirm in loco)
Thanks.

It’s on the pcb inside dac, small green box by iec inlet.

Hi all back after a long time away due to a death in the family and an SGM 2015 that I couldn’t get to work ;( until yesterday due to giving the Power Button a bit of compressed air and voila. Hoping anyone can give me a few pointers. I see on a few of the posts about setting HQ Player but I can’t seem to do that, is that because it’s the 2015 and not the Extreme ? My XHD says the same as Blu’s Aqua XHD but it was only built this year so it should be the latest hardware and software I only got it delivered in May. Any help greatly appreciated thanks all

I'm using SR Master fuse but i have not compared to other brands except SR Purple fuse that i had before.

 

[Blue58]

SR Master here too.

 

[Hearken Audio]

SR Master here too.

Had the SR Master Fuse on ours and tried the Swiss Digital fuse box. To our ears it opened up even more.

for all the Aqua Formula owners, wondering if anyone tried different isolation footer other than the rubber footer which comes with the Formula?

Critical Mass CS2s worked very well and better than Stillpoints IME.

 

[Thieliste]

Same here Critical Mass CS2M.

 

[Zensview]

Thank you all, and wondering how big difference between Critical Mass Systems Rize, and CS2 footer, the price tag between them does huge difference, and I knew Rize is much older product from Critical Mass

 

[Zensview]

and also wondering anyone try the new CMS TC footer yet, it is design for electronic components

 

[Zensview]

for all the Aqua Formula owners, if I want to remove the rubber foot, do I had to totally loosen the PCB from the formula chassis stand offs inside and remove the screws and locking nuts on the outside, nervous not to do any damage?
