| 110 (or 120) vs 220 I presume that IF the unit was designed to run at 220-240 (as well as 110-120) that most of your concerns would be alleviated? Only if one of the 2 Line conductors feeding the equipment was a neutral, a grounded conductor.One Hot ungrounded conduc... | |

| How best to place tubes in an ARC VT-130SE The previous owner of the amp advised me to put two of each quartet on each side of the amp, thus "averaging" them on each side, and as well "averaging" each side to the other.Have you ever install new power tubes in an amp that needs to be manual... | |
