Very interesting the Cary tech suggested that. It is possible the manufacturer was wrong when deciding to use a 3amp slo blow and also may have been a fairly common problem. When I did do component level troubleshooting years ago when I had an intermitten fuse blowing problem that couldn't seem to be resolved I would put in a larger fuse and the component(s) causing the problem would burn and sometimes explode. Also that was when I was a bench tech working at the manufacturer.
Paulficarella like Markwatkiss said check with the manufacturer before doing something like that. Even if out of warranty I have seen manufacturers extend warranties for some problems that they may know about but never made public.
Now I just remembered (hate getting old) my Sim dealer who wants me to replace Bryston B100 with a Sim I7. Too much $$$ for me but did say that Sim upgraded something in the I7 which they will do for free and did not make public in case used was an option for me. A good selling point promoting a company.
