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

RE: Did your BAT amps really...

One of them blew an internal fuse regularly due to a minor component (diode?) failure in one of the auto-bias circuits. Other than that, they ran pretty well. I could have easily roasted marshmallows over them. Electric bill dropped by 30% after selling them.

I see posts here pretty regularly about tube amp failures, some quite spectacular, some merely perplexing. There were some notoriously inferior designs (Golden Tube or some such) that rarely ran for very long.

I know there are more reliable designs and brands that run for a long time and need only regular tube replacement. Enjoy them. I can't bother.

Peace,
