I had a HV short occur in my SB-220 upstream of the glitch resistor.  Someone 
had installed a fuse in the HV circuit, but it didn't blow.  (I haven't looked 
to see what rating they used.) 

I wouldn't count on a fuse to save the amp.

 I have 2 amplifiers, an SB220 and a TL922A,
 they both had 10 watt glitch resistors added before I got
 them, they have each done their job but self destructed when
 they did. I replaced them with 25 watt when it happened. My
 question is, one has a 1 amp fuse in series with it. Is that
 necessary or is it going to blow needlessly when the glitch
 resistor would handle it?
 Any opinions?de Dick NY1E
