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

Before It's off to the shop, perhaps someone can offer insight as to what may have happened.Careless handling has resulted in a dead left channel. I was putting the tube cage back in place after dusting WITH moist hands after a wash. Using what I thought were dry enough hands, that one drop of moisture dripped onto a power tube socket. The obvious happened-blown tube.
R/R tube and power up.Amp goes through cycle as usual, but of course dead left channel. All power tubes and preamp tubes light up.
Thanks in advance.
Any likely situation here? Hoping damage is minimal.
