It took the breaker on my furman out twice, the first time I was in another room and other than seeing that all the equipment on the power conditioner was out I did not hear or smell anything odd. While looking for a cause I did notice that the amp was slightly warmer than usual as it was on for a short period of time and I was not pushing it, rather it was on as background while I was working on a different project. Locating the popped breaker on the conditioner, I reset it, fired up the equipment a piece at a time and when I turned on the amp and took it out of standby there was a sound coming from it, not a pop of a cap but something else then a fair amount of smoke before it tripped the breaker.
After some research, I am hoping that something in the power end went, maybe a resistor or a power cap and some wire? As soon as I get it over to the shop I will get a better idea. Just put the Bedini in its stead, no where near the power but perfectly acceptable for the time being....
