Conrad Johnson Premier 140 fuse is blown


Hi Audiogoner.
I need your advise on what I should do now.
This morning, my amplifier’s fuse has blown on the left side while listening to music. 
Should I change the fuse and power it back on or should the amp be checked up by a technician?
 Thanks for the advise if any. I have no knowledge on electronics.

If it was a fault in the fuse.

You must check at least with a meter or any signs of damaged components, likely resistors or whether any tube is bad.

Likely, a tube or more has shorted. This takes out some other components around the faulty tube and this short will take out the fuse.

There is only a very small chance it will work by just replacement, lest the time the new fuse blown again,  can take out more components.
