Odds of 2 Zen Amps Stopping Working at same time (Read 4022 times)

Egilmorephd Senior Member Offline Posts: 96	Odds of 2 Zen Amps Stopping Working at same time 03/11/24 at 01:38:21 Just like it says. Have a SE84UFO 2.1 Meeters stopped working and no sound. Have a second amp Torii Jr stopped transmitting sound shortly thereafter. Attempting troubleshooting but likely fuses? Any insight on how fuses could fail on two separate amps? Thanks for your help.

Fuses are a good guess. Do any of the tubes light up? If not, then the mains fuse is most likely blown. If so then at least the mains fuse is OK and the problem may be the rectifier and/or the rectifier fuses.

As for why, a power surge would be a possibility, esp. if both amps are on the same circuit.

Regardless, good luck and let us know what you find.

So a fuse other than the main is likely correct. Interesting the UFO and Torii have been fine powered through the same house circuit. Will check back after more investigation and thank you again.

That's what happens if one or both of these fail, all tubes glow but there is no sound. I would start there.
