BAT 150 SE 6C33-B power tubes were replaced with 8 pcs new tubes. 3 of the new tubes blew out the 3 amp fast blow fuses and internal sparks were seen with loud nasty sounds emmitted from mid range and tweeter sections. These amps only feed only the non-bass sections. The defective tubes are now replaced with good ones. Upscale Audio did not hesitate to send me replacements. Since they are out of stock on current production Upscale sent me NOS without any extra charges. Is it normal because the 8 NOS tubes are new that the sound is now harsh, metallic and not sweet as it used to be. Does anyone have any idea how many music hours app. this can take ? Any advice on this matter is really helpfull to me. Thank you.
