| Is My System Toast? Usually when a fuse blows it is easy to see. Sometimes the glass looks burnt inside. And of course you can see the fuse element is blown. @masswineguy Both channels of the amplifier are dead? Yes? No power light? You can’t hear the pow... | |
| Is My System Toast? So are you saying both channels are dead? Neither channel works? FYI, looking at a fuse, and it looks good, doesn’t mean it is good. I have seen fuses that looked good but were open. The fuse element melted, burned free, at one of the end caps. Y... | |
| Is My System Toast? If the right channel plays music then the AC line fuse is good. Does the left speaker work, sound, ok if connected to the right channel of the amp? Caution... Try at low volume first. Apparently the amp does not have any fuses inside for circu... | |

| Is My System Toast? Could you be more specific in terms of a recommendation for a whole house prolonged voltage spike protector? That is, do you have a manufacturer and a model number? I am not aware of one that would work like a whole house Type 2 SPD, (Surge Pro... | |
| Is My System Toast? Can you recommend any whole-house devices for these prolonged spikes? Just what I mentioned in my last post. @tcutter There are two whole house Type 2 SPD that draw a lot of attention on audio forums. The Eaton 108kA Whole Home Surge Pro... | |
| Is My System Toast? Best thing to do when you loose utility power is unplug your audio equipment from the wall outlet. Then, computers, and everything else that uses micro processors. Leave unplugged until power comes back and stabilizes. During lightning storms and... | |
