My VAC Renaissance phono stage uses a fuse holder with a spare, so I'd expect the same on 200iQ's. I actually had to use the spare when a fuse blew after 7 months, and then blew again a few months later (only an issue on power-up). After consulting with Kevin, I bought replacement fuses at a higher rating - 3A vs. 2.5A. It's been flawless ever since. I reckon a hot voltage from the outlets around here (~ 125V) might have something to do with it.
I'm at least somewhat interested in the Synergistic Research fuses, but haven't gone for any yet.
