Sorry Rick!This type of experience we all go through,from time to time.It sucks,but if we have good representation,the problem usually has a happy ending.

While listening to my system my Rhea blew up
I was preparing to put a record on the TT (system was on for approx 35 min already) and spark/pop/smoke came form the Rhea. I shut everything off and after a few minutes tried to see where the smoke came from. I could not detect if it was from a tube blowing up (a real spark!!) or from a cap etc???
I will ultimately need to return it to my dealer but was curious (Jim White are you around?) as to what it might be.
