Just to add to the head-scratching questions regarding fuses, specifically fuse ratings and reliability mentioned in several posts below this one, I thought I'd post something I read last night on the Acme Audio Labs web site.
I was on their site, double-checking an IEC jack I bought a long time ago, when I read the following about fuses:
"Ceramic Fuse Compatibility
We have found that some equipment with no inrush protection will destroy Ceramic body fuses. It is recommended that a potential fuse customer first try a stock ceramic body fuse before ordering the Acme Fuses."
End quote.
So their experience has been that a ceramic fuse, even ones from UL rated companies like Buss, Littelfuse, etc. will open more often than a glass fuse of the same rating.
That doesn't make any sense to me, and their observation is purely anecdotal, but I did find it interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along.
