Yes, the LD2+ still has all those issues.

my LD2+ has no more blue sparks during startup, but i do notice there will be faint blue clouds in BOTH power tubes when i turn on the unit. It just "glow" for a split second.

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

That's a very kind offer you have. I may just have to take you up on one of them.

Rather than the 'blue arc of tube death', what do you guys think about calling it the 'aqua arc of audio armageddon' instead?

Gotta admit, it does look pretty cool provided that it doesn't kill your headphones, though.

hmmm, so if we send back our old LD2+, all we have to pay is 60USD?

So that's sending in our old LD2+ and 60$USD for a LD2++?

That means more than 1 MONTH of amplessness.

While it is impressive, the money added up $60 + $60 shipping = $120 for small upgrade doesnt seem that impressive at all.

Is it possible to have it sent back to the reseller?

I was wondering the same thing. I think the tubes came from Ohio?

The lowest cost is at least ~$100 to have a replacement for the ld2+. Is the current cost of a new ld2+ $140 ????

I'm questioning my arithmatic ability.

 

[Funkdeal]

does anybody know how long this offer stands? i just received my new tubes and they do not arc at all. however, if one day they do begin to arc again, will i be able to exchange it then?

I don't understand what you're saying.
To get an LDII++ you can buy it for $140 if you have an LDII+. I think that's what is being said. That, or send it back in, pay $60+shipping to send it back to them, and get a LDII++ for no further payments.

Yes, but that's another $100 to $120 dollars on top of the $200 we paid to get the LD2+. In the end, you want to ask, is the LD2++ worth $300?
