This will work fine. It appears to be just a common electronic part. It would be silly to pay the exorbitant price the ebay seller is asking.

I didn't realize it was a universal part, even for older gear. I just assumed different size fuses.
Thanks.

Only one I could find that was even close was this one. Same 2.5a , but have no idea if compatible.

I am in need of a 340b fuse assembly to replace one that broke on my restored unit.
I have no idea, outside of Ebay, to begin looking.
Any assistance to point me in the right direction would be appreciated immensely.
Thanks guys!

BC made those XO's?
I would think they did by the "B&K Sound type A" on the board in last picture.
Beauties!

Sdfanfl,
Welcome to the forum.
Before you take back the Denon, have you run Audyssey? Experimented with placement?
I ask these things because the modern AVR's are not near as "plug and play" as your 3801.
If stereo music is top priority but you still want HT flexibility, then look at some of the offerings from NAD or Anthem. I have hesitated to jump on the Atmos and 4K trains to "modernize" my main HT system because my NAD pre/pro does such a great job with music, both stereo and multichannel.
From some of the things I have read, Yamaha Aventage AVR's are also highly regarded for stereo music playback.

My Anthem 510 with ARC room correction does a great job in 2 channel and HT. Easy to navigate and change the program profiles from ARC to switch from HT and 2Ch. Not a lot of bells and whistles that go unused, just good quality sound is their focus.
Highly recommend!
The ARC room correction software is the easiest to run and tweak I have used.

A properly performing Marantz 1060 is impressive with a very good phono section. The mid range adjustment is a great option with Klipsch RB series. I bought off a member here (Thanks again Jimjimbo!) and looks and sounds fantastic in bedroom connected to RB-81's

We have had something like 45 school shootings this year alone! These kids are able to get guns too easy! It's not that gun-control advocates want no guns. We want it harder to get. It doesn't seem like that's too much to ask. For law abiding citizens it won't be an issue. We have proficiency exams and renewals for driving... Why not guns?
Take a look at some of the US cities with the strictest gun control laws. They have the highest occurance of gun related crimes. As Derrick (I believe) pointed out, it's a societal problem first and foremost. You have the break down of the family unit, glamorization of violence in video games and movies and instant gratification and notoriety on social media. There's a lot of contributors as to what's happening.
Although I do agree with the mindset of family breakdown. That and the other issues you raised are also prevalent here in Canada without the degree of violent behavior.
How is that explained away? I've tried, but always come back accessibility of weapons and violent mindset of the population in general is the core difference in our 2 societies.
I live in a city of 5 million or so and don't feel that need of 'being on my guard' as when I visited big US cities.

That's what I paid for mine. Exact same condition. I was flabbergasted I got such a great deal up here in Toronto. I use one for a center channel between my Fortes, awesome combo and allowed me to sell rc64 without missing out.
Awesome deal for someone!GLWS

They emptied the mental health facilities in the 1970's in both Canada and the US and the authorities cannot lock someone up simply because they suspect that an individual may be thinking irrationally.
For Ontario, and possibly other provinces. But in Ontario, it was actually the mid 90's and not the 70's when the Conservative Harris Govt that allowed many people with mental health issues to be released without supervision. It was due to the transferred costs from provincial onto the municipal level that could not withstand the influx onto their resources..
The Ontario mental heath act was overhauled shortly after that included MHA forms(in particular forms 1&9), allowing detaining people who were a danger to themselves and others, so they could "lock up" potentially dangerous people for psychological assessments and possible further detainment.

I like those classic Chow Yun Fat movies like "Hard Boiled."
He was a class act. I worked on Bulletproof Monk and "The Corrupter"

One day I'll take the plunge. Have never owned tube gear and am somewhat intimidated by it due to lack of knowledge.
Are there good sounding ones at half decent prices (under or well under a thousand?).
Yes, you could get a decent tube integrated for a grand or under. Check out the Canuck Audio Mart. There is a lot of used gear and most sellers are honest hobbyists. Generally, no worries.
I'm one of those Honest hobbyists on CAM..lol
I have a MP-301 mk iii with good tube rolling options that YK might be interested in to get started for well under a 1000.

299 arrived in the friendly north safe and sound and is singing wonderfully here as I type.
Thanks again Jay!
The 1060 now sits in my bedroom and the Mac c28 awaits it's new home.
I found the sound I was looking for in the 299 and Forte combo. -
Your link led me to notice there is also an A200x3 for sale for $600 that caught my eye. His ad is quite good and inspired interest. I just noticed that you have one as well. What can you say about that amps qualities?
I wouldn't be tempted to buy another Acurus if I did not like them.
Seriously,
I have been very pleased with every Acurus amp I have owned which is up to twelve I think. Actually the A200x3 is my favorite. Tons of punchy, tight and fast bass, great detail in the mids and highs. About as neutral an amp as I have ever heard. Cool running and quiet. Great dynamics.
The A150 is what started my Acurus liking by the way it made a pair of Heresys and RB-5's thump to no end in the bass region.
Bill
Bill convinced me to P/U a Acurus A200five and boy am I ever grateful. His discription is bang on what I experience for both HT and 2 channel thru a Anthem mrx510. Very musical combo!

Even for 250 I would think thats a pretty good deal.
Even without the cords!

Selling is rough right now. A lot of us are sitting on things quite a bit.
Same thing north of the border as well. I'm thinking now of listing for shipping to US (new post office 2 blocks away now). I find it funny seeing the same item listed for same price selling in the US but not here. The exchange rate I thought would entice Americans to consider buying from Canada considering the exchange rate is quite a bit more then the difference in Shipping costs.

Just try to imagine Carlin standing up in public and selling a new book by Bill Bennett. Nope.
I agree completely. But it's also a false equivalency. I also would never imagine Carlin going against his well established principles and agree to do a daily reflection of the absurdity of current events. He was too much a perfectionist and wordsmith to pull that off nightly. It takes months to years to write an hour of quality satirical material, that was the genius of Carlin, not to satirize daily events.

You deserved a response. My apologies for my post last night. It was late.

Opinions are like assholes...everyone thinks it's just their own that doesn't stink.
Jon was not on CBS this morning. it was a Nov interview he did at last minute with his good friend Mo.
"I lost a lot of sleep on that one. He didn't!"
Not a sentence a corporate ***** you're claiming him to be would say being upset he didn't force elaboration from Rumsfeld.
You really need to cherrypick with a little more thought, to fit your narrative of a corporate shill and lackey.
First of all, Why are you attenpting to insult me? LOL - - Show the case for JS if he is so great! LOL...he's the subject here, not me! LOL!!!
Here's the listing for today's "CBS Sunday Morning." Notice the box titled, "I despise interviewing Politicians." ??? That interview aired this morning, August 9, 2015. Apparently, you didn't see it. But I did.
That interview REaired Aug 9, 2015, your right I didn't see it re-aired Aug 9, 2015. I saw the full interview which aired Nov, 2014.
1. Rumsfeld put him in his place when face to face, and JS went submissive to the authority, That can not be denied. Just watch the original. He defers to all these authoritarian figures when face to face. Behind their backs he slings insults. There's no cherry picking. That's his persona for as long as he has been in public as an entertainer. In the old days, we referred to guys like that as "cheap shot artists."
You call it 'submissive', a submissive interviewer would not later confess that he regrets not going further and attempt to get past the stone walling of a well guarded ex politician. The interview process is under time restraints (for corporate reasons ie advertising money) and he couldn't dig deeper for that reason. He looked resigned that Rumsfeld was going to deflect away from all direct questions. If he did it to "all these authoritarian figures when face to face" why does he admit to regretting it? It would have blended in to all other interviews, yet he didn't waver when recalling it instantly in the interview.
How is Rumsfeld at the time of interview an authoritarian over Stewart by the way? He was a private citizen. I'll cherry pick his interview with active politician, Health and Human services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the mockery he made of her attempt to defend Obamacare. How come he didn't capitulate to her? Only because she didn't have a book to shill and/or Viacomm insisted he attack her? Instead of deflecting, she attempted to answer honestly and got caught by a well prepared interviewer. Rice did an admirable job in her interview to demostrate the reality of the situation the goverment was in, believing the lies. Only time she struggled was when she couldn't lie or deflect away on how the Govt presented the facts for the necessity for war.
Tough to go "behind their backs" when ALL his negative comments about them are broadcasted nightly to millions. That's called a "Satirist' which by definition means to mock<<< or sling insults as you describe it. In the old days we referred to guys like that as "Satirists" eg Lenny Bruce who did it for 30 or 300 bucks instead of 30 million (pro rate for audience size and inflation). Both changed the mindsets and perceptions of the majority of Americans of their respective times towards the political process<<<< that can't be denied as well. But I'm certain you will, either through denial, delusion or dishonesty.
2. He is helping all those figures he pretends are adversaries by pimping their books, giving them a platform to sell their ideas. How can that be anything else but a corporate lackey of the Comedy Central corporation? Does CC operate any different than FOX? Why they would pay him $30M? You know, we aren't talking about Lenny Bruce out on a nightclub circuit. We're talking about the massively salaried hand of a media corporation.
People who pretend don't keep up the facade 24/7 (Please tell me you know Stephen Colbert is a mocking characterization).
His adversaries allowed him to interview them and get tough questions thrown at them (without a pre agreement on questions) only to get their books publicity, it was not Stewarts primary motivation, it was an necessary evil to have the opportunity to confront. As Al Sharpton stated in the MNBC recent documentary on Stewart "he became unavoidable" due to the Americans perceived importance of the platform Stewart allowed them. I believe the majority of americans are centrists or left leaning in their thought processes. I could be wrong, I don't watch Fox broadcasts.
The programming of both subsidiaries, Fox news and Comedy central have vast differences in their content. One is regurgitate a linear thought process of reality and one is to disseminate and mock reality. I understand your thought process of conglomerations, but what would happen at each corporation if an employee went against corporate policies? Fox fires, CC rewards <remember the 30 million you mentioned, and also the 70 million he declined to renew and walk away from, not pushed away.(reported as 50 but was really 70).
3. Have you ever seen what happens to "real journalists" who actually DO cause "real problems" for those in power? It ain't pretty. It ain't $30M contracts and penthouses in NY. It's destruction, hounding to the ends of the earth, prosecution, persecution, and yes, even death. No, none of that for JS. He's a total lightweight in the class with Dave Letterman or Conhead Obrian. Politically irrelevant. A piece of fluff that impresses millenials who are generally clueless about such matters.
I have personally witnessed the devastation to a family of a journalist who went against the political rhetoric at the time. My friend Declan McAnthonys father was assassinated in the streets on Dublin over his articles against the IRA. It destroyed their family for years.
Stewart is the first person to admit he is not a journalist by the way. I like how you use Letterman and O'brien as examples. History is already disproving your point. Remember the "Rally to restore sanity and or Fear?" I don't recall any other satirist ( Letterman and O'brien included) attempting something as bold as that, or a true journalist who would even attempt it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rally_to_Restore_Sanity_and/or_Fear
That's my take on JS. It has nothing to do with you or your comments. So, I'd say, don't reply by attacking ME....reply by showing what's so impressive politically about Jon Stewart?. Make a case for his importance. Have some fun! LOL
I was bored waiting for a package to arrive.
Sound bites and cherry picking information is how millennials are impressed in todays social media frenzy. Obamas election, the re-election seems to me that the millennials are waking up and getting a clue, in large part by the exposure of hyprocracy by the Daily show which it's vision was solely Stewarts in how it was exposed, not dictated at the corporate level (even though their pockets got lined regardless)
If they still didn't have a clue then I could see a chance for a Republican to get even a sniff of the the White house with the old school mind set. Let's see how it unfolds
Is John Oliver over at HBO considered a corporate shill of HBO with his scathing satirical views, he goes after nothing but big corporations and hypocracy including his employers. He doesn't have guest shilling books, is he considered a "cheap shot artist" because of that difference as well?
Having fun....back to the music.

I haven't found one yet. Looking local first, just haven't had time. It's good to know the ones posted here do work, as long as they are 2.5.
