My Jolida popped...what now?HEB shopper
Jul 13, 2002 1:03 PM
I turned on my Jolida SJ 502A integrated amp this morning. I let it warm up for a few minutes, then I pressed play on my CD player. The moment the music started, I heard a LOUD pop, the left power tube turned very bright, and the only sound coming from my left speaker was a tone/buzz sound.

I checked the speaker with another amp, and fortunately it is okay. The left tube now has a burn mark on it like a burned out light bulb. Is this symptomatic of a bad tube, or a problem with the amp? I just bought the Jolida used on eBay last month. I am a total tube novice so don't know how to proceed. I did turn on the amp with no speakers hooked up to it to see if the tube would be burned out, but it turned on like normal. Help please.
