I just finished building my TU-8600s. Took me a few days a couple hours at a time. Popped in my least expensive tubes in case it smoked
Turned it on and away we went into musical bliss considering my test speakers are Polk T15 driven by a Samsung phone streaming Apple. I am going to let it run a couple hours and cool it down and start over playing and burning in. I look forward to seeing what it sounds like with my Klisch Heresey IV and Mbl CD and Rotel RT-955 turntable. I have a lot to do making up for lost time out of the hobby raising a family. What fun this was. Thank you Victor for bringing such great products to the US market. Fingers crossed this runs trouble free and now onto finding a phono amp project.
Victor is there any sense taking it apart and checking voltages if it is working properly?
