Have fun/happy listening!
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.

I get it, mktracy. Like I said; peace of mind is important. Since you’re able to discern the differences fuses make in your other gear: have you experimented with upgraded interconnects and power cords? There’s aural gold in those, depending on your choices, without risk of damage. Your welcome and ENJOY YOUR TUNES (all that matters)! |
@rodman99999, Yes I have played with IC's and PC's. I have a ARC LS25mki pre,D200 amp and a PH3 phono stage and a Teac VRDS25X CDP. All IC's are Audioquest Sky XLR except the PH3 which are Audioquest Viper RCA. All PC's are Virtual Dynamic Nite 2's except PH3 which is using a Acoustic Zen Tsunami 3 PC. My speaker cable are Audioquest Mont Blanc 8ft pair to some modded Magnepan MMG's. I love the way the system sounds but never thought about fuses before, have changed all IEC connectors to Furutech FI-06g and that made a difference and then I started playing with fuses. Again thank you for all the info and help and Im really enjoying the music! |
Thanks. Ill check out the HI-FI tuning fuses and see which one I prefer. Don’t, you’ll just be shafted with it. Just get a $2 Bussman fuse the correct amperage for your needs. If you want to be one of the gullible fusers, go to this thread that got relegated to the "Misc Audio" section, and where this one (att admin) should have been started, there could be the need for a "Rubbish Bin" one also. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-secret-to-a-great-amplifier Cheers George |
