Is the infinium technology working out for everyone? do the tubes still need to be biased? And how long have you gone before replacing the tubes???

well I have had mine for over a year now and it still screams like bran new. the noise gate feature is a joke but it dont take away from the awesome sound that comes from this amp. I dont even use distortion pedals anymore. the sound that comes from this amp is amazing.

Amp is self biasing, works great! I've had the same tubes for almost a year now with no problems at all.

Replaced the tubes instantly because the stock tubes sound terrible IMO. Now its fantastic. No biasing required if you go through eurotubes

I had fuse blow out after having 333xl infinium for only 3 days. I returned it and bought a Carvin V3

inconvenienced: Sorry to hear of your problems. Did you buy from Amazon? Maybe they will help. Amazon has been very helpful when I have problems with their goods.I wrote Whynter last year about Warranty or Guarantee and never even got a reply! That was enough red light for me.The double tube units are the only ones to buy - but ONLY if there is provision for the unit to offload condensate automatically - and dependibly. My Fujitronics was great until the pump failed. It was then that I found that Fujitronics doesn't respond to requests for help. And doesn't have parts lists. And doesn't sell parts!There is room for a good portable airconditioner. For sure.Maybe someone knows of and can recommend one. inconvenienced: Sorry to hear of your problems.

Yes! I don't know their longevity? If it comes time to replace one , I'm sure you will see "tell-tale " signs that it's appearance has changed enough to warrant replacement. I don't use them on a daily basis, just 2-3 times a week. I personally feel they are excellent. Compare them to others, watch " U-Tube", you will get the idea quickly.

I finished 2 tubes already and it's been more than a month since I fired used it and I don't think it's even working :( I have them a very honest review a few weeks back..

I read somewhere, anytime you put in a tube you have to biase the socket. If you take your amp to an amp tech they will biase it for you and tighten the little holes so the tube won't slip out. I believe that you can put it in with no problem by yourself I just recommend you watch the video about tube amps on YouTube or something. Hope that helps

I've found it's just a matter of getting the levels of both pedals just right. I run a Tubescreamer into the VT999 and don't have any problems, BUT there's a very fine line in getting the levels balanced out right. I'd get those levels tweaked in and add a drop of nail polish on the knobs and pedal so you always know where they should be.

I'll look at home tonight. BTW - I have both the extension piece and the metal valves to install the unit. I ordered two sets. If you want them, I'll give you a killer deal on them. ghforsythe@comcast.net

The one I had before lasted over 5 years. I did have to replace the tube as it broke where it connects to the housing. I just ordered a replacement and with a bit of effort was able to fix it myself. And I am not mechanically.

Bring it up on google there you will fine answers,or u-tube ,a lot of good info,i have converted two units they work great.good luck Gary

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

I wish I knew! The people who have tubes are selling them for 300 bucks- i I am going to try Yu-be and see how it works. I hope Pernox comes back soon

You can stack extension tubes to your hearts content- you only lose light. Stacking *teleconverters* is different.

I have installed both tubes since I bought it about 6 months ago, never have a backup so I don't actually know! But you don't have to worry about it because I haven't got a flat since.

I like mine the emitters, i don't know about the conditions you stated......Go to You Tube, perhaps you can find some examples :)

i mounted regular infinity reference's and had no problem. check the depth of the subs your looking at mounting to make sure.

I'm not sure I understand the question. I think the set with the electronics is best unless you have a lot of patience to work with the cheaper tubes without the electrical connection. Each one of the tubes work for a different amount of magnification. My set doesn't mount well unless I start with mounting the small one with the last amount of magnification first then adding the medium one next for additional magnification and so forth. I think they may have been designed to work this way because alot of people mention how the tubes are way too tight when mounting them and send them back for a refund. I found this to be true only when I tried mounting them in a different order. I'm not sure I understand the question.

I had to completely re-wire my florescent fixture. They provided a crude diagram in my box that showed how one side of the tube was hot and the other side is completely disconnected. But to get them working in any standard fixture, you'll need to do some re-wiring. I've also experienced the slow-start that others have reported. Takes a couple seconds for them to light.
