Quick fuse question


Hello guys. I have a quick fuse question. I have a ARC D200 amp that uses a MDQ5A fuse.The MDQ is a dual element fuse. I have purchased some Aucharm fuses for my pre and phono stage and they sound great. What would be the replace size for the MDQ5A fuse? I put in a standard 5Afuse and the amp ate it for lunch. Thanks for your time and effort guys.

if I put in a fuse with higher resistance
You guys have no idea, it’s the resistance that causes it to melt and blow, 🤦‍♂️ go f*****g around with that and you’ll blow your equipment instead, that’s why it’s called resistance wire inside a fuse, if it didn’t resist the over current and blow, your equipment would be toast! leave things alone you have on idea about, really🤔
You call them rants, they are facts which fuser refuse understand, that’s why it’s considered "snake oil" all over the industry by anyone with any cred.

Your "grand fuser poohbah" geoffkait who is strangely absent these days, is proof of the kind that is attracted to the fusing cult, even his avatar is a voodoo doll
His audio snake oil web site https://www.machinadynamica.com/machina5.htm
just one of his snake oil products https://www.machinadynamica.com/machina31.htm
P.S. I did notice a difference when I reversed the fuse.
And there it is (an upgrade to grand fuser), ac mains (alternating current) changes it direction 60 x a second (60hz) think about it?


The gullible need both sides, so they don’t get shafted with spending $$$$ for a 50cent fuse.
Anyone, that pushes $$$$ ac mains fuse to the gullible like we have here, are in my sights to keep a balanced technical perspective on this snake oil.
.@georgehifi Thanks for you unhelpful comments
Your welcome.
Your now officially one of the "fuser gang" junior members, once you have mentioned just how much better an AC mains fuse can sound reversed, then you’ll get promoted to "grand fuser" status🤦‍♂️
Any bets on how soon these two posts are removed?
With the **** you talk about fuses, I would say soon 
 You just went and cried to the mods
Of course I did, I didn't say otherwise, as soon as you or your "fuser buddies" come on and start shilling for SR 😴
I don't do it admin does sunshine🤦‍♂️ and they just move them to the appropriate topic forum. Just like they just did with this one 👍 
You can always count on George to troll away and try to get another fuse thread deleted.
Really! had a mirror to see what’s looking back🥴
BTW it wasn’t deleted, just moved to the appropriate topic forum, if you bothered to look troll.
Thanks. Ill check out the HI-FI tuning fuses and see which one I prefer.

Don’t, you’ll just be shafted with it. Just get a $2 Bussman fuse the correct amperage for your needs.
If you want to be one of the gullible fusers, go to this thread that got relegated to the "Misc Audio" section, and where this one (att admin) should have been started, there could be the need for a "Rubbish Bin" one also.
