Tube Amp Repair

Hello all of my friends and Audiogoners.

This is my first response on this fantastic forum.

Your request finally motivated me to come out of the closet, after almost three years of continuously deriving all sort of audio solutions and knowledge for my own need in my very late re-entry into this hobby.

At 67, and still building my sound room w/over $120 K in gear waiting in the boxes. Equi=Tech 5WQ wall cabinet currently in transit.

Anyway, with a such a lengthy introduction I just want to share my two cents regarding your dilemma.

I once contacted Bigkidz and ended up sending him my Cary 306 CD for a complete overhaul and an upgrade package. Couldn't be more happier with his professionalism and attention to detail. He has upgraded and improved the unit's sonic characteristics with over hundred new components for a very reasonable cost.

Good luck, and thank you all for educating me on this forum.

Chris.

So sorry to see this happen.

I did a similar Performance dropping in a Kt88 without ceter pin, 1 pin off and smoke. Called Rogue audio tech dept, told me to look for obvious burnt parts.Found 3 resistors blown up, Replaced them myself and worked fine.

Sent it back to factory just for well being, Guess i fixed it fine as they found nothing wrong.

Id send it in to factory service..

Thanks all for the help.  I wound up getting the unit to Vu Jade Audio in Boonton.  Peter and Karl were very responsive and obviously very knowledgeable.   I am expecting a easy fix as appears resister got fried.
