Nice little lightshow inside the rectifier of a Yamamoto A-08S.

  • Perhaps 80 is loaded with too large first filter capacitor. Nothing more than 22uF should be used there. After the choke - freelance.

    Such an arcing surely means almost-dead tube. Either the current or voltage rating was exceeded, or there was some gas inside.

  • That is neat to see, but should be immidiatly shut off and a new 80 put in. Is this one of the SET amps that uses 300B tubes?? I want to hear what one sounds like. I am experimenting using 01a tubes as a pre amp and have been very pleased with the resutls.
