in The amplifier is a Marantz about 12 years old.

in Is it possible that using a quickblow rather than an anti surge fuse
in has caused the fuse to blow the second time. Is there likely to be some
in current limiting device on the rectifier board? Any other pointers
in things or things I should look for.

Yes, a fast fuse will go... well... faster! What can happen with a fast
blow fuse in an application requiring a surge rating is that one might
switch the power at the instant the line voltage is at maximum and the
fast fuse goes pfffft... If the slo blow one goes again then worry...
