Strange amplifier problem


Dear mates,
I started to experience a strange problem with my amplifier. Here is the description.

1. I'm listening to the music, everything is OK. Then I make a break for about on hour or two. Want to listen again, but there is no sound, though all tubes are glowing.

2. I check the CD player (change tracks, switch off and on, etc.), it is OK.

3. After some time I see a spark near the IEC inlet and check the fuse - it is blown.

This problem occurs for the second time during the last week. It is obvious that something inside the amp makes the fuse blow.

Some time ago I noticed another problem - when the amp is running, the left output transformer runs warmer than the right one. I wrote the dealer and the manufacturer, but company's president answered that this was normal because the left transformer is closer to the tubes (!!!), though this is not the case - they are symmetrical. The company's president either does not know what his company makes or deliberately ignors my problem in order to rule out any attempts to bring the amp back to him.

My numerous questions about the transformers and fuse remain unanswered.

Before bringing the amp to the dealer, I will appreciate any opinions of those who encountered similar problem and to whom such symptoms are familiar.

I presume the amp is New Audio Frontiers Legend II, a Danish amp.

1st blown fuse last week when this thread was posted :

If the fuse is blowing then you have a power supply problem - a component has failed somewhere or is failing once it gets real heat (things can get very hot on standby on Class A designs - they actually run cooler when operating). When the device fails the power supply draws too much current and blows your fuse. The fact it works again (once you replace the fuse) suggests that the component is not quite dead...yet or that your amp manages to work in a crippled mode until it overheats itself.
Remember the amp cools quickly during the time it takes to replace a fuse and then once you play music again it may run cooler on whichever side of the amp (+ve or -ve signal) that is tending to breakdown.
