I stumbled across this, but it seems that putting a ferrite bead on the mains wire has solved the fuse blow.
My Roksan Caspian M2 was blowing fuses in the IEC fuse holder on the back of the amp. On the back it says 2 amps and apon inserting a 2 amp slow blow mini fuse, would end in a failure and blow the fuse.
I had 2 options, either 3.15 amp slow blow or a 2 amp curly slow blow. However there's a third option.
If I put a ferrite bead on the mains wire that plugs into the wall, the effect is that it clamps the surge and stops the blow. Now I can use the intended fuse for the amplifer, 2 amp slow blow Bussmann.
So what I am trying to say is that the resistive properties of just one ferrite bead will protect your gear from transients and stop fuses blowing.
I hope this helps people.
