Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

That's what happened with my VK-30.

My preamp would pop when the mute button was pushed. So it only has the caps replaced in your preamp?

Since the caps came off in shipping, I'm sure there is damaged traces and pads.

If BAT deems it beyond repair, have it shipped back and look for a local tech willing to try and repair the traces and pads. Hopefully the tech is good at repairing traces because it can get tricky. Then have him go after what is causing the transformer to get hot.

Since I was looking at pics of the inside of the BAT VK-5SE, looks like the Dual transformers have the filament winding inside them as well. Mine has a separate transformer for the filament PS along with the two transformers for the B+, so you may have a heater PS problem.
