HELP I think I have an electrical issue??
Jea48So my first move should be to my furnace company? (This is somewhat overwhelming for me as so my responses with different advice have all came in) But afterall the furnace would more than likely be a free service call due to the fact that it ...

Seeking advice on tube amps
Well this may not be the right order to do things in, but my main motivation for getting the amp first is that the price I am selling my amps for and what I can buy what I want is within a few hundred dollars of each other. Which can put to rest m...
