A little tricky on a Shindo amp as you have to turn the amp upside down and remove the bottom to get access. Once that step is completed it really is not that difficult although replacing the fuse certainly requires a steady hand.
We also checked my power receptacles. They are slightly higher than 120 but not really high enough to consistently blow tubes. Hopefully these new pair of 300b's will last a long time.
Being that Danny is a serious vinyl guy I also had him check my cartridge. He made some minor adjustments and the result is a big improvement in my vinyl sound quality. Amazing how what seems like very small changes can amount to huge improvements when dealing with cartridges.
Needless to say I am a happy camper once again.

Great News !
I am happy for you.
And yes, adjusting the bias on Shindo amps is a Pita.
I changed my tubes in the CCQ 2 months ago and I have to check the bias again now but I procrastinate....
Did Danny tell you if it would be good to check the bias again after a few weeks ?
