Help/Major Problem

I have a Aleph-3 amp and a Rogue 99 pre with phono.
I played the system all last eve. with no problems.
Tonight I fired it up and nothing!
All seems fine except no sound.Only a muted signal(music) when I turn the pre way up.I can see the line stage tubes through the cover of the 99 and they are lit up.This problem is with phono,CD and tuner.I have checked all I.C.'s and P.C.'s All check out fine.
What the hell could be the problem?

david: the fuse from your dynaco may not be the same as that removed from your rouge; i.e., the rouge fuse, tho the same value, may not be of the "slow blow" variety. i'd check with your dealer or rouge tomorrow to be sure. meantime, enjoy the music and don't worry about the crater. worst case scenario is you'll burn up your rouge. highly unlikely. BTW, i thought you said the rouge had no fuses. ;>) -kelly

David,
250w/120v = 2.08 amps. If you’re still concerned I would use a 2-amp slow blow fuse. Sounds like the last one served its purpose well. Glad to here your back up an running. Maybe Panicking was the right thing to do after all :~)

The Rogue draws a lot of current at onset and needs the right fuse to handle that situation much like the Electrocompaniet amps - the wrong fuse and it blows leaving you musicless - check with Rogue to make sure you have the right one. I agree with the 2-amp slow blow fuse recommendation.

Thank you to everyone for sharing in my crisis.
I will get in touch with Mark O'Brien and see what he says about what fuse to use.
Kelly,yes,I mispoke when I commented the Rogue has no fuses.Actually it has 1 and possibly 2 in the power supply also.Sorry,must have been those ludes!
