Hello World, i've just bought a pair of used TASCAM's VL-A8 monitors and ONE of them is blowing fuses everytime i turn the power on or after +- 5 sec, 30sec, a minute . Just before the fuse blows i can hear a popping noise (once or twice). As i looked inside the monitors, i can see that the boards and transformator are looking the same inside (the circuits etc. are alright). First time i've connected them i set the volume to ~ 70 % on my audio interface and played some deep bass music because i wanted to test them, and the fuse blew after 2 or 3 mins. Later on i replaced the fuse, and the monitors WORKED for about 1-2h and nothing happened (i was not trying to turn them on and off when they worked!) then i went to sleep and turned them off.
Next day morning after i turned both monitors on again the fuse blew again...
and what it seems to me is that the when the GOOD one is OFF, the broken one works a little bit longer, because almost immediately after turning ON the good one, the broken one blows the fuse
should i try using the time-lag fuse instead the simple one?
is it possible that the toroidal transformator is broken just like in this topic:

edit: tommorow i will post photos of electronics inside the monitor
Peace.
