Hi all ...

So just a general question.
My AU111 fuse went bust ...
thing is it says 250v 3A and the spare fuses I have is 250v 1.6A
Knowledge says since the amperage is  different so not suitable , but I don't understand why and what the impact might be if I had to try .. so anyone care to explain in dumbed down technical jargon ? Is Amp the only Nr one should concerned about ? Etc ...

Also ,, who is using these "audiophile" type fuses ... is t a cable discussion I.e. Some see real benefit or some see snake oil ...? Or can I just go buy a fuse at any hardware without worry ...
