One does not effect the other....

In a tube circuit as long as things are balanced and overbuilt you are good until things go wrong. In this case the ceramic 30/30/30 mallory high voltage cap cooked and effected other areas of the phono circuit.

Steve when it went it sounded like a steak frying and burned holes through the base of the printed circuit board. These can also explode and really create a mess.

I had a shop rebuild the power supply of the circuit. I ended up with great mids and highs but no bass. All gone! Like listening to a pocket radio.

It should be easy to fix, I am saving it for the winter when I cannot do plinth projects! I will be replacing all the caps and resistors and a few leds used for voltage control.

Cheers!

I will be posting pictures of my newest baby soon! It is electric!
