To stick with the MFG recommended rated fuse was my feeling and I am certain of this choice now. I didn't intend for this thread to spark the debate of whether a fuse offers a sonic advantage. I would like to know if all those high-end fuse lovers, specifically from Synergistic Research are bumping up to the next amperage. Is this a quality issue with SR? Are there other brands that are more accurate in their rating where if I buy a 5A fuse it will work just like my Bussman 5A fuse regarding the protection limit?
