MA-1 blew 7A fuse

OTL Asylum

OTL, Output Transformerless Amplifier User Group.

Moved wires about and replaced tubes on amp. Not sure if shorted outputs or new tubes, NOS 6AS7s are at fault, (I did condition them for three days) but need a good source for fuses. Also while checking all, the 5A fuse holder in back is holding a fuse that is imprinted 7A. Not sure if this is an issue. Other fuses look intact but not sure if they should be changed if the larger one blows. Also not sure if fuses have an effect on sound quality that a specific type of fuse is preferable as opposed to going to my local Auto-Zone to get fuses if Rat Shack does not carry them.

Thanks for any ideas.
