Tubes got damaged during shipping? Like shaking a light bulb?

I just called Stereo Exchange and was told most likely if the fuse blew as well as the tube a circuit might be bad and it will have to go to McIntosh to get fixed. ;(

Check all of your tubes ASAP. If you've swapped out the factory tubes and replaced them with some other brand, you can reload your factory tubes while getting those other ones checked out. If one tube is bad I would recommend replacing ALL of your tubes if you can afford it. |

Happened to me. Turned out it was a bad KT88 in the third position. Replaced fuse, bought a quad of Penta KT88's and have not looked back since.

I'm hoping for the same remedy.

You could also temporarily install the OEM power tubes as someone suggested, but again, before you try that, verify the condition of the 12AT7's by running all the 9-pins by themselves. You wouldn't want one of them taking out one of your OEM tubes as well and for the same reason! |

Success! No fireworks!
Different set of power tubes and music has been making for an hour!
