I had a Heath AR-1500A receiver, which, through a glitch (caused by pressing on the volume control knob to seat it better) sent a large spike of pure DC down the line. Yup, the fuses went.... Moral: pure DC shouldn't happen, but then again, neither should power line shorts involving the AC line fuse.
