Well I have experienced my first problem with my tube gear. Funny thing is that the tubes, as far as I know have not blown, but the damn 250v fuse shot craps.

Trust me when I say I did nothing out of the ordinary... I decided to power down my Quicksiver pre and roll over to the AIM pre for a 6922 fix ;) well I decided to roll some different interconnects while the QS was off and then turned it back on and it did not respond... I looked through the holes in the cage and notice there were no tubes lit. I scratched my head and began wondering why all tubes were out.
In my state of loathing I decided to grab a choke. Hitting the garage and and firing up it dawned on me to look for a power fuse. Well now you know the rest of the story... stock up on fuses and tubes and if ya don't have spare tube gear ta get you through the problem life is a beeeatch:p

I'm spinning Elton now then crashing. Life is a never ending maze of learning.

    I've gone through many fuses. The jolida has openings around the tubes and when a fuse blows it looks exciting. At least until you figure it out. (bright flash around all the tubes).
