Hi All, I've been very much enjoying my Kit1 for about 7 months, everything working with splendid sound. Now things are not working. Snap, Crackle pop, increasing as the sound faded.. then... no sound. All the voltages check out within spec at the start but then quickly, the 1K (6W) resistor becomes glowing red. Then, of course, all voltages are not at all correct. I switched off at the first sign of 'glowing red'. The fuse did not blow.
Any hints as to why I'm drawing some much current? I thought, when I first heard the crackling etc, I observed a puff of smoke from the cathode bypass electrolytic.
Thanks in advance for the help. I want my lovely amp back! Ryan
