Hi !!
I have a Nad 2600A that is burning its 10A fuses (and main one once). Other fuses are OK. I replaced them once but they burnt in the second in a stylish green spark 🙂
I have some knowledge of digital electronics, and kinda know my way around a soldering iron, but analog stuff is not my cup of tea unfortunately.
Could somebody point me in the right direction ? Is it worth the effort ?
Thanks a lot !

Build a Dim Bulb Tester, a current limiting device, numerous plans on the net. It will allow you to power up and work out what's going on. Failed output transistors can cause a short. Suggest also to diode test these transistors, amp powered off.
Did You try a slow blow fuse ? It could be inrush current & a rapid fuse.
Built the limiting device and try again.

Digital/Analog -- the electrons are all the same.😉
+1 above -- very often a shorted output -- has to be something with substantial current draw to 'green-flash' a fuse.
The Dim Bulb Tester will save many hours of frustration and expense, this project and others.
If it has other fuses, you can remove them all and reinstall them one at a time.
