Just happened again, same block! Loud pop in the speaker and fuse is blown. I won't try the tube in the other block as I don't want to make more damage
Jerome, I think you are right again. It's my luck to have faulty tubes twice. Looks like I'm having a strike of bad luck with audio lately. I've sent the email to EveAnna to get her opinion and I'll see if I can return the Winged C. |

Georges, I should have waited to see your reply before retiring last night. Man, I'm sure I would have dreamed about that strikingly beautiful tube amp. Lovely, really lovely, it reminds me just a little of the new and very expensive Lamm tube monoblocks.

New day, new issue
I changed the fuse and removed the winged C for the Tung Sol. When I turned on the block that had the blow up, there was a lot of static in the speaker. Since it also had the noise in the tweeter I had the previous time with those tube I decided to power it off to switch tube since the other one was working nicely. After the tube cooled down I switched tube and powered the block. I was installing the tube in the other one when I saw a tube glowing red and blue I didn't had the time to switch off that it blew again. I'm so distraught right now that I'm shutting off for the evening and I don't want to turn the Manley anymore. I'm scared that something will happen to the speakers. I'll put the Accuphase back in the system tomorrow. I'm really having a s****y luck lately |

Georges.......It might be time to have a service tech take a look at the Manley. You may have a failed part that is aggravating the tube issue.

Seems a typical case of tube failure to me. I won't be able to come to Neuilly this week but I have the 6CA7 tubes for you. But you can come home anytime. We'll listen to the Harbeths. Do yourself a favor and order 8 x JJ tubes.

What pity Georges, I'm so sorry for you.
I'm going to email Olivier if he can read this thread and maybe help you with his great knowledge about tubes. |

I'd love to come and hear the Harbeth if you're not busy. I should finish early on Wednesday if that works for you |

I test the voltage with the multimeter and it was between 235V and 237V. |

As you know, he told me last week that it probably had to do with the stability of your power because he had the same troubles and found out what was wrong.
BTW, I had him on phone in the morning and he definitely returns to his first and of all times love, that is with his 300B ( you should know he is a voice lover). |
