looked Musical Fidelity A380 pictures, this amp has many fuses in critical high current circuits, therefore “only fuse” problem can be real! when you open lid, it would be good idea to check if amp didn’t have significant work done.. also, check solderings under mag-glass, if any visible cracks, board traces overheat discolorations etc.. good luck! |
@westcoastaudiophile sounds like it’s VERY not simple. I will open it now @seasidelps "decent tech" - not too many around |
@parkergetdean please remember, as there are many type of fuses, slow/fast/etc. before replacing “bad one”! simple $1 DMM check for resistance across fuse is simple step to avoid “pissing wrong tree” LOL! |
Checking your fuses is a waste of time, just like most of the other suggestions made so far. If you want to learn how to fix your own gear - more power to you! I highly recommend it, but it sounds like you’d be starting from scratch and there’s a learning curve. If you choose that route, sites specializing in DIY audio will be great resources with a lot of guys who actually know what they’re talking about. If that’s not your goal, that’s fine too. There must be a few great techs in the greater LA area!
