gdnrbob lol there is an equipment maker T&A that’s what I assumed the OP meant.

@roxy54 I don't understand your post or supposed astonishment. It seems eminently reasonable to me that replacing a non or poorly functioning chip with a newer more robust version would improve sound quality. Not to mention reliability and most im...

fin1bxn great story thanks for sharing and I agree nothing beats a good retailer with good ears! I am fortunate to live near Deja Vu Audio one of the best. And I hope you didn't hurt yourself falling on your amp that's a new one for me! 
Blood Shot Records
@bradf Gotcha and never heard any of their releases on vinyl so can't help you there.

One of my favorite, sadly defunct, bands The Asylum Street Spankers recorded on Bloodshot, I can't remember which album but it sounded great. I also got a Bloodshot records sampler and thought that everything on it sounded good plus great music.

Sorry I don't understand your post at all, both outputs are 4.3V so what is the 2v output you are referring to in your post? 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I will say the Audio Magic stuff sounds like a bunch of jargon filled marketing crap, but at least they have the honesty to say their beeswax fuse has a very organic "flavor"  :P 
Audiogon Site Pop-Ups
I'm having an issue on my laptop where I'll click on a page and suddenly get re-directed to Firefox for some update asking me to run an .exe file. Frankly it's fairly alarming. 
amp and unwanted speaker vibration
That is by reputation a very good amp you own, to some a classic. I suggest keeping it taking it to a tech getting it looked over and as others have said recapped. You may find its like getting a whole new amp in terms of improved sound quality. T...
