Well, it has to be said, that several of us here did point you at a kit
amp, but you had to go off and buy something all shiny from china. So
don't exoect too much in the way of sympathy...

The offer to try and fix it is still open BTW :-)

I have 4 6AX7 (IIRC) valves winging their way to me at the moment, cos
some of the output valves are toast to be honest, from sparking over.

I just hope these don't go the same way.

I'll keep you posted, and thanks.



If that amp's turned into a valve-eater you'd be a bit daft to keep
shovelling glass into it! Take up Nick's offer and drag it round to him for
a blow through - summat's obviously gone seriously out of whack and it needs
measuring. (And possibly changing to cathode bias if it can be done....??)

My new Chiny Shinaman is apparently sitting waiting at Cambridge atm (in the
hands of the Reveneers) - I'm taking the view that, being a bit 'glittery',
if it needs sorting or gets a bit excitable, it'll be a good basis for a
serious fettling job! My memory of your amp is that it is pretty well
constructed and should be a similarly suitable candidate....??
