Hi JJ- Just an fyi and of course I'm very sorry for the trouble- your first pair was not repaired, they were sent to Japan for a full check out and found to only have a bad Gold Lion 300B. So for the record and clarity on the forum, none of the amps ever failed, several tubes have failed. The amps didn't cause tube failures, the tube manufacturing caused the failures. The tubes are run rather conservatively as in all Shindo designs. Its unfortunate as these Gold Lion tubes sound fantastic and so far most are holding up well. My pair has been my most used amps since they arrived and must have over a thousand hours with no issues. As I mentioned to you in our emails, it could be a production run tube issue or just that tube lottery. We'll take care of you. Jonathan
