I blew a purple Saturday and am bummed. The system was off and it had to be static electricity. SO I ordered another at 2 amps versus 1 amp SB from ALfred. I assumed it was my fault. I really dont like he stock fuse.

So where is @ted_denney on this thread?  
 

It’s his product that is popping and failing. Static electricity blowing a fuse?

Sounds like junk stuff to me.

Sorry but I'm not ready to play Russian Roulette with my gear or life if one of these "specialty" fuses causes a fire. 

I run Mac, Cary, VTL, DIY all are in metal cases, where is this fire suppose to happen at? I don’t own a single piece of gear that can catch on fire and cause a fire in any of my rooms. I could see if maybe a carpet caught on fire or the drapes. All of my gear is on something that can’t catch fire. Even the carpet can’t catch fire.

Am I missing something? Fuses in my gear are for GEAR protection, it has nothing to do with my protection, or my house. My home is protected by breakers. I don’t have any fuses on my stove or dryer or hot water heater or blower motor for the house, the well pumps, the TV or the computer or the plug in wall heater or the heating blanket or the heat lamp for Jr, or my back massager or my FRIGGIN ELECTRIC JACKHAMMER.

You people are NUTS. Fuses in stereo gear are to protect THEIR junk not YOURS.. Good lord what a bunch of numb nuts..

A Cary V12R has 5 fuses FIVE! That is for fire protection.. It was for Mr. Hads Amps not my house..

cakyol, you know better than that BS. Burn down your house with an amp. Funniest thing I EVER heard. The house has circuit breakers. The amp has stupid protection that all.

Here is a good one a guy buys a solar battery and put it in his house to run his stereo. BUT it gets hot and the fans come on. So he takes the heavy steal case OFF the battery and tells me he didn’t cause a potential fire issue. That is the only thing he did with a lithium battery in the center of his house. He was so stupid he could not understand the danger by removing the vapor and fan cooling control. He was preparing a bomb on his living room floor for him and all his apartment neighbor to enjoy. IF he would have left the metal case intact it was a bad idea. Lithium batteries blow up. NEVER locate large lithium batteries or even a cash of smaller ones inside a domicile. BOOM..

Stereo gear not so much.. maybe a tube fire it's all show and GLOW in a tube..

I did see a Trailer full of class D amps catch on fire in Brazil (I think) it was a BASS hootenanny and the thing overheated. Large generator trailer to power it.. Burnt right to the ground once the aluminum and magnesium caught fire.
