Synergistic Research Orange Fuse

I have purchased this fuse for my line stage and power amp with great results.  I would like to purchase another for my integrated Tube amp, however, this amp calls for 15A and SR only has a 16A fuse.  Will this cause damage to my tube amp if I replace the fuse with a higher rated fuse?  Thanks for any help.

Nope. None of mine are exact, all are higher value, some 2x. I've also blown some, which never happened with standard fuses. So they seem to be less than stated amperage. SR has replaced all that have blown by the way.

I bet if you paint that orange fuse green it will be more eco-friendly - and sound better!

Good old trusty "fuser" couldn’t help himself. Went for nearly 3hrs with nil posts before they just had to answer.
BTW: That must really make them super dooper special fuses when they blow so easy.

That’ll be the new "Green" one "coming to a store near you", after they unloaded all the remaining Orange ones onto the gullible with their buy two and get a third one free deal.
That’s $520!!!! for three fuses!!! and you only have to pay $360!!! that’s an insane bargain for three fuses.
TOTAL VOODOO SNAKE OIL!!!!!!!!
