Nick's post is spot on in that the sound quality is very promising. A lot of lazy bass power and dynamics evident but the valves were new so it would be unfair to judge the remainder of the frequency range too critically. But in addition to the loose /Blue Tack mounted high voltage components the earth wire in the plug had come adrift, so any short could have resulted in a live chassis. And 600v could be fatal........Originally Posted by nickbaba
So... there is news, and it's not all bad!
The scariest part was that apparently the power supply board had come completely loose inside and could have shorted 600v into the metal case if it were plugged in...
Anyway David gradually introduced voltage up to full power and all went well - he even said it doesn't sound too bad... at least for a first test.
So things are looking very hopeful.
