If it's as the circuit diagram you may have bigger problems. There is a soft start circuit present and so if a T4A fuse has blown it may well be more than just an old thermally cycled fuse that's the problem. Good luck.

Earlier, '80s Nelson Pass brand. Very good stuff in its time and still highly regarded by many.
This Threshold Stasis 1 monoblock is a tasty example:

I certainly have no complaints with my CA-5EII pre-amp so far, but then again, I haven't compared it to anything side-by-side, which would be my next step should I decide to upgrade. I suspect that a MC cartridge and better tonearm would provide me better gains for my money rather than adding a dedicated phono stage into my setup, unless anyone else can convince me otherwise?...
