Amp will not power off

Hey folks,

I have owned a Forte 1A class A 50 wpc SS amp for several years that has been working great until a few days ago.

I have used a Bryston BP26 preamp with it for a while until about a month ago when I bought a hybrid tube preamp (Black Ice Audio F360).

The F360 has been used quite frequently during this month.

A few days ago, a friend brought over a Melos tube preamp. We hooked things up and listened for a few hours.

After listening for the evening, I flipped the power switch on the Forte 1A to the off position but the LED stayed on and the amp did not power down.

Waited a while. Then tried toggling the switch a few times but eventually had to just pull the plug from the power supply.

Anyone experience this? Hope it's nothing serious.

Thanks!

That was the 1st Melos preamp followed by many others. It was a great buy only costing about $1000 including moving coil phono. The GK1 brings back lots of good memories. Melos was a pretty creative company with one of the 1st memory player CD players and super high power triode output tube amps of 400 watts mono blocks and 200 watts stereo.
