On sunday the HiFi forum's had an interesting thread resulting MattSPL and myself conversing over HiFi Tuning fuses. We all know how the thread went and as some of you may know i was waiting on my amp being returned from Chord as i was having a new EPROM fitted, (memory chip). We'll its back and no i haven't fitted any HiFi Tuning fuses but i did take the casing off in search of said fuse and took some pictures to show you. Why? Well its a pretty impressive piece of engineering and if you take into account the main chassis is only 30cm wide and 32 cm deep (outside dims), Chord have crammed a lot into that small space. Now i haven't a clue whats inside and yes i found the fuse! but the little information i do know i've put with the pictures. I do know though that some of you out their will and i'll be interested to know how this amp is put together, so please fire away!
