Mornin' Dave and the list.
That is odd. I pulled the two fuses in my amp and checked them. I too have
replaced the glass ones with gray/white (250v-15a,) ceramics from the nearest
source (RS). Thinking about it, my amp has not popped any since then.
Without consulting to the manual, are the glass/wire wound ones quick-blow and
the ceramics slow-blow? Anyone else chime in please on a seemingly inane
thought?
3's and such,

Hi Gary,
I have had that issue as well... I went with ceramic fuses, and all
problems ended. I went through 3 sets of fuses prior to the ceramic
fuses.
