Anyone replaced Fuse with Circuit Breaker?


I am considering replacing the stock 5 AMP fuses in my Classe CAM 200 monoblocks with either boutique fuses OR high quality circuit breakers that fit where the fuse holder goes. Has anyone tried circuit breakers on their amplification?

Circuit breakers are slightly inductive and usually have a higher internal resistance than the equivalent fast-blow fuse.
If in doubt, do a search for data sheets, e.g. a Bussman fuse as compared to a circuit breaker. For example, a 500 mA circuit breaker has ten times the internal resistance of a 500 mA fuse.
IMHO do not use them for audio.
