I have had my kit-1 for almost two months now and have experienced a tube failure. One of my Sophia Princess mesh plates no longer functions. At first the plate became bright red, and now it only buzzes at low volumes. I put a pair of JJ 300B's in the amp and all is well. The voltages are within reasonable values. Has anyone else had this problem? After a quick calculation I note that the Kit-1 runs the tubes close to 30 Watts. Is this too much for the Sophia mesh plates? The spec sheet says that they can handle up to 40 Watts. Just looking for some guidance. I have to say I like the sound of the JJ's better than the the Sophia mesh plats that I had. Perhaps one of them was bad all along. Sadly, I did not purchase the one year warrantee, so I am out $425 after only a little more than 4 weeks of listening.
