I got this Theta preamp.
The tubes light up, but the only sound I get is by turning the volume sliders (!) up all the way (tuner into one of the aux inputs)
The power supply has a bunch of Mallory electrolytics strung together, interspersed with little round metal cans that appear to be transistors from before the ice age.
I am replacing the electrolytics this week, but I wonder about those little transistor thingys....the number on them 2w5448 does not ring any bells on ebay or the Mouser site.
I will know more when I get the electrolytics replaced, but I suspect that may not be my only problem.
Help!!!!
