It's funny that George can get everyone onto a "paid shill" conspiracy theory when he's in all the preamp and dac threads talking about how everyone who likes active preamps is ignorant. Of course he manufactures and sells a passive pre. Would be nice to have a thread or two on this site where people didn't end up attacking each other. |
For members that wish to know the truth, on fuses etc Just change the fuse if old for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age after many turn on cycle surges. As for the wires yes too those also, especially to the ones serving the big current supply to those tube heaters, they now will also be getting blackened and getting hard under the insulation, as well as the where each end terminates. And yes they definitely could put in new $1 Bussman or Little fuses, as the old fuses would have seen some "massive turn on surges" and their holdersAnd the base section inside the amp, of those external bayonet 1/2 turn fuse screw in ones https://www.letonkinoisvarnish.co.uk/fuseholder_corrosion_big.jpg Cheers George |
