HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.

So I woke up with a very sore head and depleted bank account this morning.

Recently bought an Audiolab 6000a and Elekit TU-8500 tube preamp. I’ve never owned a preamp before and I hope they’re compatible for my KEF Q11.

I then had a few bottles of wine...

Woke up and saw I had purchased a passive pair of Bryston A2.

Will the amp be able to power the speakers? I don’t listen to loud music. 
Please help this idiot.

Well then I certainly hope they work out well for you!
You are a braver man than I.
I would find a way to solder my fingers together.

It’s all good.

You could have woken up with an awkward rash…

Every time you turn the pre on, you’ll remember how you don’t remember buying it. Hopefully, you can remember building it :)

...at least you didn't wake up next to someone you don't know and wouldn't ordinarily care to.....;)

Another lesson learned backwards.....

No Miller, the question is how drunk do you have to get to buy $200 coloured fuses.  'I liked the pretty colours'?
