Hope someone can help me on this. One of my M60 stopped making music. I checked the 3 fuses on the back of the amp next to the power cord entry. The fuse closest to the power cord entry (the third fuse as you look at the back of the amp reading from left to right) is blown. I read the owners manual but it is confusing. I think it is the 0.5 amp slow blow fuse for the driver circuit, according to the manual. The fuse itself has 5A 230V stamped on it; 5A seems too high. When I go to buy a 0.5 amp slow blow fuse, is the voltage rating important? Radioshack has a 0.5 amp slow blow 250V fuse. Thanks.
