What happened to my SET amp?

Hey all,

I was playing my Dared 845 SET integrated amp today, and after about 10 minutes, I noticed it had quit playing, the power lite had gone off, and it was smoking like hell from the lower-back of the amp. I pulled the fuse at the IEC and it was blown (thankfully!). It was marked as 125V/8A.

Nothing has changed since I've originally hooked it up about a month ago and it has played properly for hours at a time since then.
Any ideas what might have happened?
I appreciate your comments.
Good Listening!

The Antique Sound Lab Leyla 845 DT uses a 10 amp, slow-blow fuse and it is spec'd similarly to the Dared VP-845. Am I right in guessing that this amp uses a similarly overrated fuse?

What would be the correct value for this fuse if not in the 8-10 amp range?
