Could you describe just what condtions would cause the power supply to
burn up or catch on fire (I would not have thought this component to be

and there's been no change.
Fuses are for protection in case something goes wrong. As long as
nothing goes wrong, you don't need them at all. In that respect,
they're like seatbelts or smoke detectors. But if you do need them, you
really want to have them.
Put the fuse back in. If you don't know enough about electronics to
understand how a fuse works you shouldn't be messing around inside the case.
All I'm asking is for information on what conditions would cause the
amp to catch on fire (ie. what exactly can go wrong and what exactly is
flammable inside an amp) so I can do a risk assessment and decide how
likely the risk of fire is. If you understand how a fuse works
yourself, you would be easily able to explain this, other than simply
repeating what you've read on a printed circuit board.
