It arrived, and on the weekend I was screwing gear into the rack, velcro up all the cables nice and neat, powered up the rack. All gear powers up except the Aphex, then I remember it has the wrong fuse in place! Turn it off and all LEDs on Aphex flash. Fuck.

I may have cooked my compressor running 0.375 amps through when it should be 0.25 amps. Cannot attempt to power it on yet, the correct fuses are in the mail. I am a fucking idiot.

I'm trying to console myself with videos of people throwing their $1,000 iphones into the toilet, ocean, sewer. And thinking stupid shit like the difference between 0.375 amps and 0.25 amps is so small and couldn't possibly kill the device.
So you had it setup expecting 120V but supplied 230V?
