Help, valve Query (Ming Da)

[Audioman]

I certainly will Mark. Both of the guys from BD sound like great blokes. BTW It has a swich on the back of the amp for 110-230V so i would assume it's a kosher UK model.

Those 230 v ones have been known to cause problems. UK voltage is 240 v nominal and can be higher. Should get BD to check transformers are up to snuff. It looks similar to the ones the Affordable Valve Company used to sell (modified).

I run my Ming Da monoblocks from a variac set for 220v, but a pair of bucking transformers would also work. I intend to make up a pair when I have time.

Good and bad nooz chaps. the amp i bought from a git off ebay is a kosher Ming Da and a UK version. However, the bad nooz is that someone has attempted to modify it and made a right bollocks of it. more good news is that it has been filled with jensen paper in oil cappies, result! being fettles by mark at Ming Da UK as we speak. really pissed off at first, but, after speaking to Mark tonight well chuffed as i paid a pitence for it. I is now a happy little man from the North.
Thanks for your advice guys, i appreciate it.

A bit of a rollercoaster ride then Steve but at least it ended on a high for you. That's great news bud
