Hi Guys
I do not see the point to having a fuse drawer as part of the IEC socket. And really, there should not be an external fuse position anyway.
If a fuse blows in your amp, there is likely something that needs attention and some investigation. Field replacements often cause more damage to the amp since it is inevitably a wrong and higher value that is subbed in.
When the fuse values and breaking characteristics are chosen correctly, there should not be nuisance failures.
Buy the $2-3 entry socket and fuse internally as TUT3 illustrates.
Have fun
