Liz, They forgot to mention Fuzz indeed in Wiki

Al, I guess that answers my question, there is little difference between fuses manufactured by reputable companies. At least as applies to the two brands in question. I will rest easy knowing that damage done to my amp had nothing to do with the fuse selection. And, I will be far more cautious in terms of checking my tubes if a fuse ever blows again. Thanks again. @Marakentz the nice thing about Wiki is that if the information is missing or is not to your liking you can always add or change it. I look forward to learn about fuzzes! |
Nick_sr, Your thread here, plus a little down time for minor surgery, got me looking further into the whole fuse thing. Here is a link with some interesting reading posted by the Roger A. Modjeski, the designer of Music Reference amplifiers. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=105425.0 Another interesting post is located down near the bottom of the same page by Scott Novak, which starts out... After having spent 6 years performing safety testing on switching power supplies I would be very concerned about using any protective device, fuse or circuit breaker, that did not have safety agency approvals. |
Update, I got my amps back from service this week, it turns out that only the led for the bias adjustment was fried. So I guess the fuses served their purpose after all. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Quicksilver who graciously honoured the three year warranty which had elapsed about a month before the amp failed. |
