The Aurieges seems to have develop an issue yesterda, after over a year of flawless operation. I heard some scratchy sound from one of the speakers and when I approached the gear, thinking the FM station was making the noise due to the bad winds we have in NJ, I realized that the preamp was smelling like something was burnt and it was shaking. I immediately turned everything off. Not sure if it is only a burnt fuse and bad tube (which BTW I have a full set of replacement from the PO including NOS Siemens for the phono stage) or something more serious.

I did not try to open the preamp ever before so and I am not sure if I should at this point. I would be more comfortable knowing nothing else went wrong for sure. At any rate reached out to local dealer but not heard back.

My gear was not bought directly from a dealer (hence my other post from last year about servicing).

Anyone had similar experience?
