Hi
I am confused by this thread. The Kit1 has been sold for years, with many happy customers. Are we now saying that it is a tube eater? Or is the issue with the Sophia 300b tube?

I would have thought the circuit design of the Kit1 is correctly figured for optimum standard fair 300b tubes to run within tolerance.

I am wondering if your particular Kit1 build has an issue? It might be worth doing some voltage an current checks and pinging Brian for advice on that. Also bear n my (in my experience) that tolerances can go out of wack if feeding speakers with wild impedance swings or none tube friendly 3 way designs.

And I presume you have the amp in a cool environment with no shelf above to reduce air flow. Tubes amps don't like getting too hot or beyond there normal operating ambiant temp of 30°C max.
