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

Aged / failed fuse?

Maybe the fuse was just on the ragged edge all along. One of my tube pres was sounding less than usual until it went out. The main fuse had blown. I swapped it out and it sounds fine again. I then remembered not leaving it in standby until it had first warmed up a couple of times.

I'd suggest you disconnect the inputs and speaker connections. Swap all fuses and power it back up. If it holds, shut it off, reconnect things and fire it all back up.

Do remember, the tweeter amp is always last on, and first off. Even though you are running with the internal x-over, it is a good practice.
