It’s a linear supply not switch mode.

The only thing you can do to get the right size is someone analyze it with a power analyzer to see what peak current it draws on initial turn on. Not even a DMM will help here because it’s peak not rms and most aren’t fast enough. You size the fuse to overcome peak initial surge current which gets worse as caps age which is why you need to size it correctly. This is what happens when designers don’t do their job to rate their own products.

Had the amp on the bench today it drew 5.6 on start up came back down to 2-2.5 then held at 3 firm when switched out of standby. Tech said he believes the amp is rated for the 10amp fuse. It was nice to see the beast wake up. 👿
A truly beautiful work of art. 🤘🏽
 
Any way you could take some pictures of the boards and post them? Really curious what the innards of this beast look like

You ever seen Predator’s dreadlocks… looks much like that.. except connected to a PCB 😂 I’ll see what I can dig up for you. 👍🏽

That would be awesome. I've been super interested in this amp ever since I heard about them ~12 years ago. Getting some gutshots of it would be amazing

Hey, just checking if you got the chance to get some pictures of your DAR's innards? Particularly interested in the preamp section. I'll post a schematic if I'm able to reverse engineer if from the photos!
