Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????


Do to a dumb electrical move I blew a fuse in my amp and thankfully it did just what it was supposed to do. No damage to my amp. What are my replacement options ???? I have heard some audiophile fuse's are out there for $25 a fuse....any comments would be appreciated.

Aggielaw, I have Isoclean fuses with arrow facing towards the component in the fuse holder. This seems to be the correct direction. Reversing the direction of any or all fuses makes the sound noticeably overly bright. Hope this helps. GK
Aggielaw, in all my experience with such fuse holders the arrow should go from left to right when you are looking at the fuseholder.

I teach at Texas A&M and hear Aggie this and Aggie that all day. Where did you get this moniker?
Geoffkait, you might want to open up the top lid of your components and trace the power wire to verify the direction of power in the fuse holder. In my previous components all externally accessible fuse holders had the power wired so that a properly installed IsoClean fuse arrow was pointing out the back.

The opposite of my assumption.

Now if only somebody would build a gold-plated cryo-treated fuse holder.

Tbg,

Thanks for the tip on the fuse. We had an unexpected visitor tonight, which precluded me from testing the fuse. I'll run the test tomorrow night, though.

I went to South Texas College of Law in Houston for the short period of time it was known as the "Texas A&M Law Center."

It's ironic that the law school (and TAMU) lost in litigation over the affiliation/absorption, because STCL is ranked #1 in the nation for producing trial attorneys . :|

Hmmm.. I didn't know there were audiophiles in College Station. I'm glad to hear that! My wife and I still have friends there, and when we visit again I'll offer to take you to lunch to talk about our hobby. :)

What direction does AC current flow anyway? I think that it reverses its flow 60 times a second, so directionality of fuses seems silly as a concept, but then, so does the whole fuse thing!
