RE: Fuse choice and safety ?

Soudek , Not much to elaborate on. Higher rated fuses sound better. Thicker wire inside. Different fuses of the same value sound different. This of course cannot be recommended as a general principal. In some well thought out cases a larger fuse may be a reasonable thing to do. As an example I'm pretty sure my amp came with a 2 amp fuse. I asked the designer what the max current the amp would draw if it was pushed to it's max and he said 3.75a. He also said it's ok to go to 3.75 fuse after putting in a 2 amp fuse. I asked him if I could go a little higher than 3.75 and he no. Of course this is just my humble opinion and your mileage may vary. Like everyone says, you gotta be safe. Tweaker
