Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping
Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping
I recently upgraded all my gear with the new Synergistic orange and purple fuses (15 in all) What a difference! My Cary SLP-05 preamp with 8 Vintage Tungsten 6SN7 tubes is having problems with the Orange and Purple Synergistic fuses in the power supply. For some reason when I turn on the preamp amp after warming up the powersupply unit, the 2 power supply fuses pop. So far Synergistic has been gracious and replaced them twice now. I increased the 2 large slow blow fuses from 1amp to 2amps after asking Cary audio what I should try. I also spoke with Synergistic and they agreed their fuses are sensitive but all the stock fuses I ever used have worked flawlessly. Any body out there with any similar problems and maybe a solution? Any upgraded hi-fi fuses that may be less prone to popping? I think it may be due to a current rush (tube related) when I go from off to on. Help!
Thanks

Very early on one of the first generations of SR fuses popped for me. At that time, it I was recommended to go a value higher than the originals. This was due I think to there Million-volt treatment. I think it weakens them a bit. Anyway, going forward I always have gone slightly higher in value even today with the new purple versions. Also, I would go for the slow blow at least for your power supply. ozzy |
