Conrad Johnson Premier 140 fuse is blown


Hi Audiogoner.
I need your advise on what I should do now.
This morning, my amplifier’s fuse has blown on the left side while listening to music. 
Should I change the fuse and power it back on or should the amp be checked up by a technician?
 Thanks for the advise if any. I have no knowledge on electronics.

If it was a fault in the fuse.

You must check at least with a meter or any signs of damaged components, likely resistors or whether any tube is bad.

Likely, a tube or more has shorted. This takes out some other components around the faulty tube and this short will take out the fuse.

There is only a very small chance it will work by just replacement, lest the time the new fuse blown again,  can take out more components.
Make sure that the speaker connection did not come loose. That will also blow a fuse!
What kind of fuse ? Please remember a stock steel bus fuse can vary up to 
15% in value , precision fuses like Hifi tuning Supreme  Synergistic are within 
1%  and can blow quicker, it happened to me several  times ,I go one small step up in size with a premium fuse still plenty of protection 
like from a 3 amp fast  to a 3,125  fast blow.
Follow the advice in the manual, provided by the equipment manufacturer(as mentioned above).
