Guys, this is part of the issue I am asking about in my other thread...

....I am trying to be proactive here. I want/need to buy some 15-20 amp fuses for my B&K amplifiers. These are the kind that fit into the fuse holder on the back and screw in. Once upon a time, these were easy to find. Now, not so much. The fuse has to fit into the screw-in receptical on the amplifier. Any idea where I could get new fuses that will do the trick?

Thanks!

Most are in the 3-5 amp range slow blow in some, charging caps and bringing transformers up. Valves may have more protection a second fuse fast blow on the bias circuit.
Yes. Although it’s unusual, there are amplifiers with larger fuses, including the Conrad Johnson Premier 1B, which does have a 15A slo-blo on the 120VAC line.

It's not likely that your amplifiers really need 15A or 20A fuses. You might want to check your owner's manual. In any event, any good electrical supply house should have the fuses they need in stock.
