Hi Beftus,
I think you just found out what my problem was... I used a Bergquist pad, from Beezar and thought the metal tab were insulated from the casing...
I used the kit from Beezar, and mounted it as shown here (http://www.diyforums.org/SSMH/SSMHheatsink.php), and I used the kit wo shoulder washer... I now understand the problem... Okay, first DIY project, I learn ^^
Thanks for your help Beftus, I should now be able to make it work! I guess my mofsets are dead now? Is there any way to control them? Are there other parts that could have burnt at the same time, and again a way to control them?

I just used the metal case as ground for my RCA, should I insolate them? I have the propers plastic rings, so it no big deal: what's the best solution?
About the power input, if I understand right, I just have to solder a second wire to the ground pin, and solder it to the case, using a file to remove a bit of black paint, and solder it there?
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

Do not use the metal casing as a ground conductor. Use a wire for grounding. Only connect the metal casing to ground at the power input.
