Basically, I bundled a tonne of wires together for transport, one was the plug for my laptop power brick, another was the plug for my MPC Live 2 power brick & I can't remember which was which.

I'm just a bit worried as one has a 10amp fuse & the other has a 5amp fuse.

I've tried to find what amperage fuse should be used for the MPC Live 2 in the manual, but can't find it, so I just wondered if anyone knew as I obviously don't want to be using them the wrong way around & harming either device.

sorry, this is quite off topic...or maybe not.

I used to live in London for a while. I always thought that the wall socket fuses are interessting - but I never really cared.
Here in Germany we do not have those, just a basic fuse for different circuits - usually 16 amps.
My whole studio (small but neat) is running on one of those - and it seems to be enough not to blow. I've never checked whether this is good enough...
I recon, if I would have a pro studio, with tons of electronic, I would have cared.
