Quick fuse question

Hello guys. I have a quick fuse question. I have a ARC D200 amp that uses a MDQ5A fuse.The MDQ is a dual element fuse. I have purchased some Aucharm fuses for my pre and phono stage and they sound great. What would be the replace size for the MDQ5A fuse? I put in a standard 5Afuse and the amp ate it for lunch. Thanks for your time and effort guys.

@rodman99999 , I will try the AMR 6.3A and see what happens. The 5A Bussman was new and never used though. I heard good things about HI-FI Tuning, but most people seem to like the Silver Star better. Any thoughts on the differences between the 2 HI-FI Tuning models?

Got it (I thought the Bussman came out of another component).     If I’m not mistaken; the Silver Star’s been discontinued, though some dealers still have a limited inventory, on sale.    I had used the Classic Gold, for years and liked them.      Skipped the Silver, when the Supreme came out.

@rodman99999 Thank you for all your help and info. Im going to stick with the stock MDQ fuse and just deoxit and clean it up. Dont want to take a chance on not having protection on the amp.
