PS100 Blowing Fuses

Hi James,

Sorry to hear that they don’t fit!

Maybe you can try there brands,

What 6550s do you recommend?

We’ currently use Psvane and JJ 6550. We were using Sovtek 6550s previously but they have had increasing reliability issues, and of course, they’re from Russia. All of these exhibit good reliability overall, but the Sovteks can cause crackling sounds initially.

Did the fuse blow with the new tubes in? This indicated that here is a bigger problem with the unit. I’d recommend you send it in for a service if so?

See here for fuse information:

The height of tubes can vary depending on the factory that produced them. It is not always obvious when purchasing from re-sellers like Electro-Harmonix.
