Recently my amps trannies were melted when the 211 failed. With less
than 150 hours on the tube but past the 30 day warrantee.
I bought the tubes in Oct. 2009 from Grant Fidelity. however never
used them until well after the 30 day time frame.


And that was Grant's fault, how?

Which Grant was aware
of.


So?

One tube shorted and took out the output and high voltage trannies.
Costing me $1500 to repair.


Must have been some quality amp that had no protection for a simple
tube failure.

Neither Grant Fidelity nor Full Music will care after the 30 days
expires.


And you didn't think to buy the lifetime warranted tubes? And you
didn't buy the tubes that offered coverage for colatteral damage?

For $500 one would think that the Manf. or north American
distributor would make ammends because of the damage done. Something
fishy going on as the distributor.


What's fishy?

No no and no is the answer from them.


And no is the answer anyone would give you.

Buyer beware. Stay away.


Why is this 'wrong'? They stated a warranty, you accepted the warranty
terms, and then you feel cheated... Bad logic!
