heeeelp please audio reserch 5SE - resistor blew up

If you just want to fix it- just look at the next tube socket, find the corresponding resistor and use the same value.

However, only one thing caused that resistor to burn out: current.
Which probably was due to the tube. So whatever you do, change that tube.

Audio Research, unlike years before, will not respond to you.

The local dealer will fleece you.

The trusty local tech will tell you the unit is damaged beyond simple repair and it will be 10 bench hours at 100/h.

Just replace the damn resistor yourself and replace that single offending tube.

@johnsonwu 
Audio Research will respond to you just fine. Just got an email back from them few hours ago.

i want to change the resistor but i dont know the value.
the other tubes are different so i dont know if the value of that resistor is the same like others.
there is only one 6550 tube and the other are 6h30.that why i a looking at someone that have the ref-5SE and send me a picture .my mail is : view63@gmail.com
thank you all very much guys

Contact ARC and send them a picture, they will you what you next move should be. If they identify the resistor, they may (a) tell you the probable cause or (b) give you the right part number and send the correct OEM resistor. Question: did you purchase the 6550 from them.
