Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????


Do to a dumb electrical move I blew a fuse in my amp and thankfully it did just what it was supposed to do. No damage to my amp. What are my replacement options ???? I have heard some audiophile fuse's are out there for $25 a fuse....any comments would be appreciated.

sirspeedy - the fuses are 25 dollars apiece. I say go for it, no guts no glory.
sirspeedy - know what you mean! Royal PITA. Looking on bright side, AR wouldn't be the first high end company by lomg shot not to realize the fuses are directional and they can sound quite harsh/overlybright when inserted the wrong way. Besides what else ya got to do? :-)
"Hi fi Tuning fuses are Non-Directional."

They must have cracked the Da Vinci Code. :-)
Aggielaw -- Q: Which direction were the arrows on the Isocleans pointing when you placed them in the fuse holders?... just curious?
Aggielaw, I have Isoclean fuses with arrow facing towards the component in the fuse holder. This seems to be the correct direction. Reversing the direction of any or all fuses makes the sound noticeably overly bright. Hope this helps. GK
The listening test will verify the proper direction.

With any fuse, even one that is 10 years old.

"In all my experience with such fuse holders the arrow should go from left to right when you are looking at the fuseholder. " - that all depends on whether you're looking at the fuseholder from the right side or the left side :-)
