Amp blowing fuses


I have a pair of quicksilver kt-88 monos and one is blowing 3A slo-blo fuses instantly on powerup. I have swapped all the tubes from its mate and looked at the chassis wiring which is discrete, point to point. It looks clean with no hints of overheating or trouble. I've thought about trying a 4A fuse but wanted to get opinions as maybe one of you have had a similar problem... thanks for any help, opinions etc...

Sounds like a dead short. I would not increase the fuse size.

Take the amp to a repair shop.....

Possible problem could be a shorted electrolytic capacitor/s in the power supply.
