I don’t recall anyone going up a whole number in fuse rating. Especially if the fuse rating was a low number. That would be taking an unnecessary risk.
Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...
I’ve bought 5 Audio Horizons Platinum fuses a couple of months ago, for my amps, speakers and DAC.
Three days ago, coincidentially, the 5A fuses on my mono amps (Rogue Apollos), blew at the same time on start up. Replaced them with the OEM fuses, and everything works again.
I have a very good electrical installation, with independent lines for each amp, a no surges or anything strange occurred. My speakers, Evolution Acoustics MM3s are always ON, and nothing happened to the fuses on them.
I emailed Joseph Chow inmediately and his response was to send the fuses back to him (at my cost, I live in Ecuador...), to repair them for $70/each, plus shipping.
I have paid $138 for each fuse in October, and no warranty?... what a shame!!!
Won’t buy these fuses again, NEVER!!!

geoffkait @ geoffkait , It’s a power amp that is spec’d, by the manufacture, to use a slow blow 5 amp 250V volt fuse. What size would you recommend to the OP moving up to with AH fuses? http://www.rogueaudio.com/documents/ApolloManual.pdf geoffkait Said: This could just be a case where you need to increase the fuse rating, as others have noted. . |
geoffkait Do you think a mere 1/4 amp increase would be enough for the OP to try? Or maybe a 1/2 amp? Remember we are assuming that start up high inrush current caused the AC line slo-blo 5A fuse to blow in each mono amp. So what increments in ampere ratings do AH fuse sizes come in above slo-blo 5 amp 250V? Do they, ( AH), make a slo-blo 5.25A 250V or a slo-blo 5.5A 250V fuse? Bussmann for example, jumps in one amp increments from 5A to 6A for a slo-blo 250V fuse. http://download.siliconexpert.com/pdfs/2017/7/16/3/4/59/187/ech_/manual/505268968020198product-datas... . |
