jolida issues? first tube amp


this is my first tube amp.
i have been a memeber for a while and a owner of some wonderful proac tablettes for about a year. listening to them on my sony es digital amp. they sound great. all i keep hearing is about tubes tubes... so i purchased a jolida 150 rc hybrid amp. problems. first the speaker post isolator discentgrated, so i sent it in. now the fuse in the back keeps blowing when i plug in the amp w/o anything or speakers connected. when i called about the shipping they said it was ont eh bench being tested- a park bench? spent $100 on shipping and fixing the GD speaker post. now i have to send it back for this. are all of the tube amps this quality? if so i will stick with my mass produced sony. the sound cant be worth all this headache. i cant imagine if i spent over 1k for this.

Most tube amps should not be powered up with no load, ie. speakers not connected. This is probably the reason the fuse keeps blowing. Don't do that anymore.
