Which SR Blue or black Fuse

three_easy_payments, kosst_amojan, analogluvr, mrdecibel, and anyone who I might have missed,

Thanks for responses. I believed fuses may blow, they would not be putting them in otherwise, but was wondering how common that really is. I guess more common than I observed. Maybe mrdecibel and I are simply lucky.

In my case the blown fuse was a little bit of user error as well as a little manufacturer error.  I was listening pretty loud when I switched on the fly from the triode to UL, instantly doubling the watts.  Later in discussing with the manufacturer, they recommended using a 4 amp fuse instead of the 3 amp fuse that came with the amp stating that you can usually get away with a 3 amp fuse but switching surges can sometimes pop the 3 amp.  Since then I always reduce the volume when switching from triode to UL and have never had a problem since, even with a 3 amp fuse.

I never had a fuse blow in all my years in this hobby.

So all that talk about other's poorly designed power supplies in their lousy amps and their boutique fuses was just a lot of hot air because you decided to build an amp that would often fail by design because you seem to think it sounds better that way?

You keep citing Nelson Pass's designs as the inspiration for yours and yet I've yet to hear of any fuses popping with regularity with his amps. If they did, we'd all hear about it by now and no one would be buying them.

Bartender, find out what he's drinking and order me a case! 😄
