I will pipe in since I wrote the warning. I still own a pair of Quicksilver Silver Mono tub. amps. I was using them at the time I started doing fuses. I replaced the stock glass fuse with the same value Littelfuse ceramic. It b.ew it on startup. I repeated it a couple more times. No inrush current protection on these amps and a numb.r of others. I communicated with the owner of Response Audio b.ck then ab.ut it. He had run into the same prob.em. Thus the warning.
I currently use a ARC VT100 mark III. It has startup surge protection. No prob.ems with ceramics.
I ended up going one amp b.gger on the fuses in the Quickies and there were no more prob.ems with b.owing them.
