>From my own personal experience (your milage may vary) I have used the 
recommended Airpax circut breakers in the past with a homebrew power supply, 
and have had to send my Omni 6 back 3 times to have the finals and driver 
transistors replaced. It wasn't until I procured a TT 961 power supply that 
matches the rig that I had some real protection. The Airpax circut breaker, 
in my case, was not fast enough acting to protect the rig. Both my Paragon 
II and Omni 6 now have separate 961 power supplies.
And no more fried finals....
