Sim Audio W-5 Fuse blew half way on the pre amp


My w-5 stopped working after cranking it just past half volume on my pre amp, why would this happen, I hope there is no damage on my w-5, any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I had a fuse go in my W-5 when using a bryston pre amp at a higher volume level. Simaudio said that the bryston wasn't a good match due to the hot pin configuration on the xlr of the bryston.

I switched to a Simaudio preamp after that and haven't had a problem since. I have read that the Athetix calyspo tube pre also works excellent with Simauddio amps. Ditto on not putting in a bigger fuse , that's a no, no

Cheers
