I’ve had my JS-2 for a couple years, since they were first released.

 

Just FYI:

The JS-2, UpTone Audio’s choke-filtered, dual-output, 5~7.4A linear power supply has been in continuous production since 2014. Think we just past the 1,000 unit mark. Every unit assembled entirely in our offices, and every unit Q.C.ed/burned in (for thermal phase change pad melting and regulator heatsink torquing) by me personally.

This past week I ordered a couple of oranges for my amp and preamp and thought I’d check the size;rating fuse in the JS-2 and try one in there too.  Wouldn’t you know it...I popped open the fuse holder and out comes an Audio Magic beeswax fuse.

Well, that fuse isn’t cheap either. But it’s nice to know Uptone is using good quality fuses.

Uh no. We install only LttleFuse or BelFuse glass fuses (slow-blow) in JS-2. Have never installed any fancy fuses.

And never purchase a used one…..

Never realized that there is a whole marketplace for “used fuses!”

Evidenced by the fact that I can sleep through my wife’s snoring but mine keeps her up all night.
