Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!

I have no done any tweaking to my SA-10. I own three VPI bricks (found them all used, locally at a stereo shop, $15 each!) , I will try putting one on the SA-10 over the transformer. (though you problem may be caused by local power issue?)    I Googled pictures of interior of SA-10 and the transformer is front left encased in a copper shield. Is that where you placed your VPI brick? I just stuck one over the transformer on my SA-10. Not immediately noticing anything different.    I would have to do more critical experimenting to say for sure.   At least it is an easy experiment. Lift off. put back. lift off. LOL                                              
The one tweak I would do, except the SA-10 costs $7000 and I fear doing it if I need the warranty.. Is to use higher AC line frequency. Higher than 60Hz. My PS Audio P600 can change it up to 120 Hz AC frequency. And Paul McGowan in a PS Audio utube video suggests it helps most power supplies to use higher Hz AC. Anyway I have my other digital gear at 110 Hz but not the Marantz. I called Marantz and asked, but they said 'It is not supported" So I just cannot do it and if I need service then lie. No way. So not until the warranty is gone.                                          
As for fuses. nope. Never had a fuse blow except an amp I shorted and blew the rail fuse, just once.

Does anyone remember the original Bright Star Little Rock?  I think I still have one somewhere.  The are VPI bricks more effective?

I placed it a little to the left over the transformer at first then I put it front and centered over the transport. I haven't took it off. I'm in the camp if it isn't broke don't fix it. I think it might help more with damping. I know it just sounds wonderful now. One reason I bought it among many others is your praise of it here

I also unplugged it from one if the active regenerator receptacles to one of 2  passive filter ones on the P1000.

The Bright Star Little Rock and VPI Brick, as it turns out, were not competitors. On the other hand, once upon a time Barry of Bright Star and I were competitors, but not in a bad way.
