Synergistic Research Orange Fuse

I have purchased this fuse for my line stage and power amp with great results.  I would like to purchase another for my integrated Tube amp, however, this amp calls for 15A and SR only has a 16A fuse.  Will this cause damage to my tube amp if I replace the fuse with a higher rated fuse?  Thanks for any help.

I just checked, and SR does offer a 15A Orange fuse. I would actually recommend the 16A to give you a little margin in case your amp draws more current at turn on. Any catastrophic event that will blow a 15A fuse will also blow a 16A.

I'm quite sure SR doesn’t manufacture the base fuses, but OEMs them from another company. It could even be Littel. The other thing is that the SRs are ceramic body, glass filled, a better design than the glass ones that come standard with many components.

I use a higher rated Orange fuse in my tube amp with zero issues. You shouldn’t have any problem.
