Why cant I find these? As you know, magnepan recommends these as replacements
Been to Radio Shack, local hardware stores, Lowes and Home Depot and all I can find is either fast or slow. I did find them online but for a couple of fuses with shipping and minimum order requirements I'm looking at over $10. Not a ridiculous amount but still.
What if I just used fast blow fuses? Would I be constantly replacing fuses? Anyone tried them?

Thanks

What type of fuse are you looking for?

I think of fast and normal blow fuses as the same item, while slow blow is a special case.

That's what I always thought, as well.

its a 2.5 amp  "Type SAG"

Type SAG?

Are you sure it doesn't say "3AG" which would refer to the physical dimensions of 1/4"D X 1-1/4"L (6.35mm D X 31.75mm L)?

Magnepan recommends "normal" or "fast" blow fuses (same thing) and cautions against using "slow-blow" fuses.

What srb said.
Rat Shack, auto parts store, your audio junk drawer, super expensive "audiophile-grade" fuses, 3AG.
SAG is what happens to women when they get older.  We just get fat and crotchety.
Hey, did you get your new ribbon?

The manual for the 3.6 says "SAG". Its correct  (3AG) in the 3.7s

Yep, replaced the ribbon. Could not have been easier.

Thanks for clarifying guys
