[QUOTE="MusicMan_ZA, post: 1049916, member: 14924"] After a friend pointed out the possibility of the voltage selector strip in my Quad II valve monoblock amp arcing and blowing the fuse, this afternoon I bypassed the voltage selector, and hard-wired (nothing irreversible) the AC input to the 240V tap on the power transformer with a short, insulated piece of copper wire. I have now (and yes, there is basically a heatwave outside) been playing the Quad II?s for 3 hours solidly, with no problems at all. Holding thumbs! PS. It is so hot, I have put my Cabernet Sauvignon in the fridge!
