Hi Mang Tony, I believe it was not. I case of over excitement. LOL
I just sent Andrew an email, I only had the amp for like 15 minutes (it was hand carried by my parents here in Canada) and have been collecting dust since then.
I can tell everyone that is a nice sounding pre-amp hence I hate just to throw it away.
Maybe cable rearrangement lang or try changing RCAs.
I also connected a REL Sub to my MINIMA before & it didnt sounded well so just used the SPEAK-ON Plug from REL & it work out find
Hi Sunset, sorry no, I am positive one of the component was toast, there is a potted item that I am asking Andrew if he can sell me a piece or two. We have replaced the filter caps in the power supply and all tubes to no avail. My tech also checked for wrong polarity and there was none.
I do not mean to hijack the thread but thanks all for input, highly appreciated! I'll start a new thread for updates.
I am more of an SS guy BUT tubes can put that magic in vocals. I am assuming majority here are enthusiast so by all means I recommend people to consider tubes in their collection. I always like the hybrid setup. Tube pre and SS amp.
