Opened up my DR to install a bias pot. Happened to find this:
Got to wondering why the fuse had not blown when the resistor went. I've owned this amp for 3 years and haven't had any problems with it. Opened the fuse holder to find this:
It's hard to distinguish, but that says 25, not 250V. Apparently, it did blow at some point...before I owned the amp and the previous owner stuck this fuse in it. The circuit breaker in a house would trip before this fuse blew. Then you would be wondering why you are tripping a breaker.
Don't replace fuses with higher values! Your amp is trying to tell you something is wrong!
Any questions?
