Hey guy, this one is kinda long
I got my 1987x with a PPIMV in the summer of 07
sometime between november of 08 and january of 09 one of the trannies blew (I can't remember if it was the output or power)
e-mailed nik, he sent me a replacement, i just had to pay the labor
this brings me to about aprilish of 09 the amp start blowing ht fuses when it is on standby or any period of time longer than a few seconds, it goes to my local tech two times to fix it, each time he says it's done but the problem is still there
so ever since then i have just been turning the amp on in playing mode (not standby)
This brings be to about 3 weeks ago, the amp start blowing the ht fuse ANYTIME no matter about the standby or not
So i call my tech and bring the amp to him (150 miles away)
he keeps it for a few weeks and retubes it ($115 bill)
got it back last night and this mother is still blowing fuses
could it be the preamp tubes, he said that the tested and looked find but he didn't replace them
He also says it works at his place but at my parent's house, my apartment, and my practice area it still blows fuses
please help me guys, i'm considering getting a new amp if i can't fix this. I really like this amp too

Yeah, i understand what you mean about the tech. I probably won't be back there for a while.
I'm not very comfortable digging around inside of an amp
On the ceriatone website there is a link to an authorized tech about 45 mins away so i think i will take it there.
I have been e-mailing nik the past few days and he said it sounds like something is wrong in or around the switch.
I have to send him some picks when i get a chance to borrow my friends camera.
