Hi Brian.

Have you actually tried this yourself? If so, with which fuse(s)? What about Lew's thought about the need for audiophile grade fuse holders?

The M60Mk2.2 manual, with regard to fuses, states:

"The first fuse by the power cord entry is the Output section B+ and is 3 Amp Slow (1.5A slow for 235V). The middle fuse is the filament fuse and is 3 Amp Slow (1.5A for 235). The last fuse controls the driver circuit and is 1 Amp slow (.5A Slow for 235 Volt).

Is the "first" fuse what you are calling the "main" fuse?

Also, audiophile grade fuses are said to be directional. The "IsoClean" fuses that I am considering (for lack of any better idea) are marked with an arrow that is supposed to be aligned with the direction of current flow. What is this direction for the "main" fuse?

Thanks,

Rupe
