I have a pair of Meadowlark Audio Kestrels for sale. These speakers play extremely well at low volume and are tube friendly. I would have trouble accurately listing all the speakers that have visited my system in the last five years. Not giving up... 
Blown fuse and its soldering to a PCB
Basically -if it's under warranty -I would return it for service and include the tubes you were trying to use.If the fault was caused by the tube - the importer will quit possibly charge you for the repairs.Now that's good advice. I forgot we were... 
Blown fuse and its soldering to a PCB
Solder in a new fuse if you can get in there. I can't think of any reason it can't be done. The problem I have had is sometimes the heat from soldering destroys the fuse so be as gentle as possible. Also, leave the leads in place if possible. It's...

Solder Pot Advice

Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG
Just finished the first listen. My God it's good. The songs that have the feel of his playing on "Amused To Death" are beautifully done. 
HELP I think I have an electrical issue??
