Bat 150 SE replacing 6C33-B power tubes problems
Thank you all for this info.The sparks were inside the new power tubes that blew the 3 amps fuses. The amps suffer no damages. Guess I very am lucky. With the old original BAT factory tubes the sound is normal and sweet. However, several of the ol...

Simaudio / Jeff Rowland / MBL
