Some times the guys who design amplifiers actually know what they are doing!!

Back in the late sixties I used a Marshall 4x12 driven by a Leak TL50 Plus and a small single valve preamp I built to control the Leak.. it worked well but the cabinet WAS more than a little awkward to load in and out!

Trust me she'll bring it up when you least expect it and are most vulnerable.!

Sell it before it gives you a Hernia!!

As it's now March 26, more that a month later, WHAT HAPPENED???

And likely designed by the same folk!

Always an excellent idea!!

I'm glad I don't have to move that stuff!!

Ya ask a question - get answer and then add qualifications!! LOL

Did they refund you for the cabinet you blew?

In this day and age, considering the power available from amplifiers, no one should still be using 1/4" phone plugs to connect between amplifier and cabinet. Never ever use an instrument cable for this duty!!

How the hell do you know the address on Warden? That's just a couple of exits west from mine on the 401! 🤨

Never having heard of Ann Summers I looked the name up. Good grief! I nearly had a heart attack!

I hope it serves you well!

I've been using rack pre-amps since the early eighties when I built my first SS power amp. Since then I've enjoyed a few different units, some of my own build. My current amp is a 2KW capable Class D stereo power amp. I built a three tube two channel pre-amp to drive it. It has served me well.

Didn't get the connection eh? LOL

So how did this situation evolve? Inquiring minds need to know.

Don't let our @agedhorse hear you say that. The Streamliner was very well received here in North America!

I'm glad you got it sorted.

Thinking on this I feel that musicians not being able to buy tubes is a small price to pay to support the Ukrainian people in their time of desperate need. As for the no fly zone that will escalate the situation with a man who has already shown a willingness to start to use nuclear weapons. God help us all if he goes that route. 😖

Just for interest: what tube is it? Or have I missed the point?? LOL

Personally I don't see those charges as too excessive. Folk do have the right to make a living plus profit. Not to mention the cost of some very specialized and expensive equipment.

Like as not the blown resistor is not the only problem the amp has. Also the circuit board will be easy to damage for the average tinkerer. It requires specialized tools which you won't own. My advice would be to dispatch the amp to the authorized service provider and get them to repair it. You may be surprised at how cheap it may be.

Many of us have been stacking a pair of 2x10s this way in a vertical 'skinny stack.' Works well.
