NAD!!!

Post by frigid midget »

That stands for 'new accident day' actually. Fell of my bike, face first. Not even sure what I hit, or how it happened, I don't even remember stepping on my bike. Woke up in the hospital with a concussion and gruesom injuries in my face. Bruises, scars, cuts, blood, raw skin...I look like I fell in a fucking meatgrinder, and it sure feels that way.

Anyway, that's not what the thread's supposed to be about. I did get a new amp last week that hasn't been officially introduced here yet:

Payed it dearly, and it still needs a little work before I get to try it.

Anyone know if it's possible to have the stock transformer wired to work at 220-ish volts? I think 220>110 step down transfos can be found pretty cheap, but I already kinda maxed out my amp budget:s

Also: Any do's and don'ts in case I'll have retubed? Like what types or brands to avoid, recommended bias, etc? It's been a while, so I'm kinda out of the loop. Not that'll I work on it myself though, but I don't want to just hand it over to a tech either, at least not without checking with you guys first...

No idea about the tubes yet, had to buy the amp sight unseen. I just know that the seller described the tubes as being "useable", but the amp came with mismatched power tubes. So I'm just bracing myself, assuming a check up woulnd't hurt. It's also supposed to be completely original/stock, meaning new power caps might be inevitable as well...
