I went to fire up my rogue magnum int amp and I heard a small pop, then the only tube that reacted was the V3 tube but it had a purple glow to it and none of the driver or preamp tubes showed any sign of life. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone had this experience in the past?????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim...did you rebias the tubes? I would check the bias on all the tubes to make sure they are in the recommended range. Glad to hear you are back up and running.
I also spoke to Rogue and they recommended to try the Goldlion KT77 instead of the KT90's. Yes, less power but more "tubey" sound. I tend to trust these guys as they are always spot on. Anyone tried these tubes?
I blew a powertube awhile back and luckily it didn't do any damage other than the tube. I ended up buying some KT90's from Rogue and satisfied with the sound.
I replaced the original Svetlana EL-34's in my Cronus with a wonderful matched quad of Gold Lion KT-77's (following some good conversations with Mark O'Brien @ Rogue)......... a great amplifier now sounds even better !
