Probably not the standard 5x20mm or 1-1/4in x 1/4in fuse size.

Good idea. I never thought about the size, just the rating.

Paul,
I’ve been thinking about trying fuses for a couple of years, but haven’t gotten around to it. Some years back, I mentioned fuses to a well-known manufacturer and also fuse holders as well. I told him I had never seen an upgraded fuse holder, and surprisingly, he told me he had never given it any thought. So it seems to me that we need not only a better fuse but a properly plated and treated fuse holder as well. Have you ever read anything about better quality fuse holders?

Hi Nick, Haven't seen any threads about upgrading the holder as well. What do the better designed amps use? All I've ever seen are the same plastic housing ones with very ordinary-looking contacts.

Hi Paul,
I haven’t seen the insides of any new amps recently since our audio club disbanded in Vegas a couple of years ago. I think I’ll do a little bit of research on fuse holders and see what’s out there. I’m still curious about fuses, but if I ever brought that up at the Van Alstine forum at AC, I would get a lot of flack for it… i’m guessing I would need two or three fuses for my SET 120.

There are five fuses. One power, two rail and two speaker fuses.

Thanks, Jack. Synergistic fuses are too pricey an experiment on an amp I paid < 1 k for..
