He didn't know that the typical HiFi has a ~200 ohm resistor in series so he fired up the amp, put the phones on and played a lick. Called me to complain about how low the volume was. I went over and found the back of the earphones discolored from the heat of the fried little speakers. He was very lucky, God does sometimes look out for fools and children. His amp was rated at something like 400W. And it had 4 pairs of push pull output tubes. I'm pretty sure the most powerful Marshall tube amp was 200 Watts. And those were the 'stereo' amps, weren't they? dxAce Michigan USA |

It has just been too darn long. I think dxace called it when he mentioned stereo. While I had a Strat at the time, I was more into acousitc guitar. I still have my home made 6L6 guitar amp. Somehow I traded for an output transformer from a large electic organ and my Amp was popular with a couple of bass players. I even added a 1/4 jack to my GR64 so I could use it as a practice amp. A single 6AQ7 driving an old 12" dynamic speaker. I used my TTY loop to power the dynamic speaker electromagnet. The fun old days. Terry |
