Mikirob,Will do, I'm currently using the white lightning cables which actually sound pretty decent considering the absurdly low price tag but I'm also very eager to hear the WECO cables. You know tou have a winner when you're comparing these to ca...

TAD1000 Blowing Fuse
I've blown quite a few fuses over the years on the 1000's it was always because of a bad tube. The Tad's are a little rough on tubes. Double check the bias settings as well
