VTL MB 185 SERIES II

Before the 450MKII were purchased I had VTL 300 Deluxe mono blocks.  Great amps but tube faults were a major pain.  With the 450's tube faults are a breeze.  When a tube goes, it's identified by a flashing little green light.  The power to the amp is shut, with gloves the tube is replaced, if a fuse went its also replaced.  I'm up and running in less the 5 minutes.  Auto Biasing between the notes of the music, come on now that's too cool.

Hi guys.  Interesting thread about VTL and tube faults.  I own a S-200 and experienced my first tube fault.  Unfortunately, the fault will not resolve by replacing the tube that indicated the fault.  I've followed the reset process to the t and it still indicates a fault with a flashing green light.   Any ideas?

You checked the fuses?

Back in the day when I had more money and less sense I did tubes..sure they are fun just like spinning and collecting  records but when it's time to get serious buy the best dac you can and the same with a great ss amp..never good to go backward if at all possible..just my opinion

Hi.  I have not.  Since the amp appeared to be powering up with the lights flashing green for each tube, I assumed that all the fuses were good.
