MV100 Issues

Post by sorehead »

I have a CJ MV100, and it has blown 3 fuses during 1-2 days.

I have two thougts:

1) One (or more) of my EL34s are bad and need a change. It seems to blow up on the same side, It blew first at the right side. Then I changed the tube sides, and suddenly left side fuse blew. Then I changed back again, and while adjusting bias, right side blew again.

2) The fuses are wrong. I currently have BBS-1 Fuses - 2A. I googled a lot and the only side i found was an asian one, in asian text, and it says something about 5 A.

Questions; What A does this amp use? 5 or 2. I am already about to order a matched octet of EL34 tubes. I want resolution and dynamics. Any suggestions in the midrange priced tubes? I am currently considering Svetlana Winged C.

Best regards

Chris
