In Reply to: Why do my tubes keep blowing? posted by occ on December 7, 2006 at 01:51:54:
Not sure if that would result in a blown tube but it would explain why it's always the power amp that goes and why it's always the same channel.Use a multimeter to check for continuity between the red and black wires in your speaker wire while moving it around. Of course there shouldn't be any.
Do the same with the interconnects (although I would have thought a shorted interconnect would take out the preamp rather than the power amp).
Or there might be a problem with the speaker crossovers. If you can, try opening up the speaker on that side and see if there are any loose wires or signs of sparking etc. Maybe try swapping the speakers over and see if the tubes blow on the other side, although that might be an expensive way to check. Do you have any other speakers you could try for a while?
