Amp fusing?
I am currently building a tube preamplifier kit from Ali. There is little in the way of instructions and after looking at several other circuit diagrams of other boards/kits I was wondering why there is mainly only fusing on the transformer primary and nothing on the seperate transformer secondaries. Are there issues with adding fuses on the secondary supply's?
Thanks

From the linked article:
"Fuses are not precision devices; they melt fairly slowly during faults, taking many milliseconds to whole minutes to blow, depending on the level of overload"
Making them virtually useless to prevent component failure. Your regular mains fuse would/should protect the transformer.
