Subbing a 8 amp fuse in for a 1amp fuse in PS/Dac

The only place I would risk it is in the amp. Speaker fuses especially. The damage is done by the time it blows anyway, so I hear. I've not blown an amp fuse in 35 years and done lots of experiments. I would not mess with stuff further up the chain, though.

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!!

No problem at all. Why not just put a piece of wire in there and then you won't have to worry about those pesky blown fuses again.

Gawd.

That has been called the "smoke test". Replacing a blown fuse with a much higher value will often result in the defective part going up in smoke, however it may take other parts with it.

Years ago doing that would be called a no blow fuse! Always put the correct rated fuse when replacing.

No you can't as there will be no protection for the unit if something goes bad with it.

Hope this helps!!

You will defeat the purpose of the fuse. 8 amps will offer no protection if there is a problem and you will lose your dac. Don't do it

DON'T DO THAT!!!
