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.

P.S. I did notice a difference when I reversed the fuse.
And there it is (an upgrade to grand fuser), ac mains (alternating current) changes it direction 60 x a second (60hz) think about it?


The gullible need both sides, so they don’t get shafted with spending $$$$ for a 50cent fuse.
George, do all of your insane rants give you some sense of validation? Is this what amounts to accomplishments in life for you? You need to get a hobby as this one is just not working out for you.

All the best,

You call them rants, they are facts which fuser refuse understand, that’s why it’s considered "snake oil" all over the industry by anyone with any cred.

Your "grand fuser poohbah" geoffkait who is strangely absent these days, is proof of the kind that is attracted to the fusing cult, even his avatar is a voodoo doll

I know this, I have removed the fuse circuit a few times, and welded silver conductors, not soldered, WELDED, Silver wire to a silver dipped spade, via, joining the two with 99.99 9 silver... BIG difference, in sound..

Not the wisest move, but it sure proved a point to me. James B of Ampzilla, told me he was tired of the Power Cord debate (I didn’t know there was one at the time) I was working on the generators for the CES show, and a few other conventions, while construction was going on.. (always)
They were big cat gen sets... I knew him and Brian C of VMPS and Doren Dibble the Cabinet guy... That was a smart guy... He sure believe in a GREAT Power Cord.. 25 years ago.. He WELDED his PC into the newer SST. He was the one that told me FUSES were a problem, just like Power Cords... He made and designed the thing. Enough single malt he’d build one for you, out of silverware... Smart cookie...

2004-8 He welded his PC. I think they still make them the same way...
Serious amp.... 2000 series... That thing doubled power down to 1 ohm.. maybe 1/2 ohm... from 50 wpc @ 32 + ohms. (?) FUSES can be a big problem with 1/2 - 1 ohm loads, I assure you...Fuses need to be secured TIGHT, a little spring loaded fuse holder won't work. LOL BUT they will catch on fire... TIGHT.... Graphene paint sure helps too.

Now apply that same analysis to the fuse in a pre-amp or DAC.

Next, tell me, if I put in a fuse with higher resistance, will there be less or more noise on the output of the amplifier power supply, and will there be less ripple or more ripple?
