Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp
I am going to re fuse my Pass X250.8 and XP-32 with Synergistic Research purple fuses in a couple of days. I was hoping to get advice on a rule of thumb for direction of the fuses. My instinct tells me to start by installing the fuse by the direction of the lettering on the fuses. I am thinking that the direction should be the lettering left to right with the beginning of the lettering facing out of the amp and the end of the lettering facing into the amp. Does this sound right?
No, I haven't talked myself out of trying fuses, I just haven't talked myself into trying them. Partly because the four ARC amps I use to power my tri-amped system have seven fuses each. So, that's 28 fuses just in the amps. And then another 5 in the front end, for a total of 33. You can see where that would get pricey very quickly especially if your talkin' SR fuses. I appreciate the Acme fuse suggestion, so that would only be $700 to do them all rather than the >$4000 variety. Honestly I don't need to be reminded that this is fun. It's all about the music to me not the nth degree of what I can get out of my system. Regards, barts |
Hi @nonoise Thank you, that is exactly (and succinctly!) what I was looking for. I will get an itch to give fusses a go at some point. I have bigger fish to fry at the moment, as in interconnects. As you might imagine I have a bunch due to the four amps and external electronic x-over. Regards, barts |
