| Question About Tube Dampers It depends on the material the damper is made from, and the location you put them on the tube. Dampening rings should never be placed over the plate assembly of a small signal tubeas that's where the greatest heat is generated. | |
| Kenwood L-09M Service Manual? Possible shorted output transistors.....is your speaker blown too? | |

| Kenwood L-09M Service Manual? Just out of curiosity, what is wrong with it? | |
| KT120 in Audio Research Pre-amp? Do NOT use a KT-120 in the power supply of an ARC preamp. Use the 6550 only! | |
