You may find yourself accused of being "irrational," as I appear to have been in the second post following my previous post :-) Let them accuse Al, and we can both be called "flat earthers" This "Tech Talk" forum and is for technical talk, I see nothing here that resembles this. Maybe it should be moved to a new forum heading for things like this, called "Things we can't explain" Cheers George |
Hello Bob. There are fuses that are made to be soldered in, they look like resistors, and don't cost much. I use them on conservatively rated power supplies for exactly this reason. You can buy them from DigiKey - search for fuses, 'through hole' under the column 'mounting type'. I think the smallest they sell is 1/16 amp, the biggest is 20 or so. If you don't blow fuses much, it's a good solution. |

Here is my dilemma: I notice that with the SR Black & Red which i have on most of my equipment; I have one in the amp, preamp and cd player. Man... ever so often these fuses would blow out on me. Should i up the rating say from a 4 amp to 5 amp? Also, in regards to warranty, are the fuses cover under a 5 years warranty from Synergistic ( according to their website). I went and did a search but it only mentioned other accessories but not fuses. Any members who had the same experiences with warranty would want to help me out on this? I did call them and they stated that it's only a 30 days warranty. I am out of luck? I am not too happy with their customer services! |
