Just bought a really nice tube preamp from a fellow forum member. Was listening to it at slightly past the 12 o clock position and somehow the volume suddenly went up on both speakers. I shut it down and nothing smelled burnt, except for the smell of hot tubes. I turned it on again and everything seemed fine, though I did it at a lower volume level.
The preamp is an Audible Illusions Modulus 2A. It's a pretty old preamp, but when I listened to it, it greatly improved my system. I'd like to ask fellow tube guys if this is just a case of me pushing an old preamp too hard, dapat dahan dahan muna? Just bought a new set of tubes, 4 matched 6922s.
ANy ideas? Should I bring it in for a checkup?
No intention of selling it though. I heard what it can do and its a keeper.
