What happened to my SET amp?

Hey all,

I was playing my Dared 845 SET integrated amp today, and after about 10 minutes, I noticed it had quit playing, the power lite had gone off, and it was smoking like hell from the lower-back of the amp. I pulled the fuse at the IEC and it was blown (thankfully!). It was marked as 125V/8A.

Nothing has changed since I've originally hooked it up about a month ago and it has played properly for hours at a time since then.
Any ideas what might have happened?
I appreciate your comments.
Good Listening!

Pulling out a tube will violate a warranty? "Expensive 845"?? HELLO??

Do you have a backup pair of 845s? The stock Chinese ones are around $60/pr.

If you replace the fuse and try it again, worst thing that can happen - probably - is another blown fuse.
