In Reply to: RE: Blown fuses on a Cyrus One but phono still works: stick or twist? posted by goomer on December 21, 2016 at 23:17:39
That might be best.
I started to post you a couple of times but wasn't sure if I had the answer. If you google Cyrus One or Cyrus 1 blown fuses, you will see that it comes up a lot.
Different reasons for the fuses blowing. Shorted wires, op amps, even type of speaker wire itself.
So you might put the fuses in and it could work or blow right away. Some cases I read where the fuses were okay after the first speaker was wired up, but then blew when the second speaker was wired up. Go figure. Others had the unit working fine for a while and then out came smoke. Could it damage the pre-amp section? Possibly.
For consideration, it looks like there is enough info on the net to get the whole unit up and running. First place I would start with giving it a good visual and checking and measuring anything you can on the inside with the tools you have and are accustomed to using. I remember it being a pretty good amp at the time, being able to drive some pretty tough loads.
Or, just use the phono section until you get an urge to explore further.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply, in the longer term I think that that is what I'll do: do a step by step investigation to find out the issue before hopefully repairing to full function again. I have received it now and have had the lid off to look, though - not unsurprisingly - there is nothing visually apparent other than the one blown fast blow fuse. I have now removed both of the internal fuses so that the amp isn't trying to drive a speaker-less load, and have been enjoying the phono stage via the tape out of the Cyrus into my other amp. Sounds great with my Rega Planar 3/AT 440mlB cartridge, hum free and barely a hiss even at quite high volume so I am happy to use it as is for the foreseeable future.
Thanks again for the reply.
Good idea taking the other fuse out!
Cheers!
