Give Cary a call, ask for Kirk or Dennice Had (the owner), both will gladly take your call. I to have a V12 and a couple of issues came up with it and they talked me through it right over the phone. I would doubt any of your fuses are bad, the fuses controle each rail or side, not three tubes of the six per side, good luck would be interested on what you find out........Bob
Cary V12 - Output Tubes Problem
Hello,
Three EL34's of my V12 just stopped functioning. Replaced all tubes with SVETLANA EL34's. The new tubes plugged into the sockets (right channel, front sockets, positions 10, 11 and 12) where the defective ones were taken out will not even light up. The new ones are good because I switched tubes between left and right channels. It seems that the problem is with the sockets themselves. Are there fuses inside the amplifier that I can change myself? The tube fuse located at the back of the amplifier is intact. Tried changing the input tubes (6922's) with no luck. Life without music sucks! Please help!
