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,
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!

david: i'm truly glad you have your music back. i know how important it is to you. my guess about a blown fuse was prompted by the coincidence of my having dropped in at my audio dealer/close friend's place yesterday and meeting another customer who had brought in his cj amp, which had an overnite failure much like yours. the cj, too, was fixed with the replacement of 2 internal fuses.

happy listening, friend.
