At the time, I was planning to send the 2c+'s, preamp signal to the power amp of a 2B, Coliseum Series. However, I began A-B-ing both amps and they sounded remarkably similar. Without looking, and thinking that i was holding a speaker cable, I plugged the 2c+'s preamp out, into its own speaker jack. I proceeded to disengage the standby switch, and the volume was only up around bedroom levels.
Subsequently something had fried out, and the amp had very little output volume...
Meanwhile, I was asking around about the amp, yet I couldn't properly trouble shoot it...
Completely embarrassed, I brought it to Boogie, in Petaluma. I was told it was probably the tubes, and I was given the option of leaving the amp there... Deciding to bring the amp home, I changed out the tubes. This didn't solve the problem, so I tried a different set of tubes. By then, a connector from the tube socket had broken off and was still left collared on one of the 6L6, tubes' prongs, when I removed the tube.
At this point I needed pro help and eventually brought the amp back to Boogie.
I received a call yesterday letting me know that my 2c+, had been repaired.
Ultimately, the original problem was that a tiny transistor needed replacing.
The tube socket was reconfigured to work properly.
The job only cost me $75,
and I am happy!
I'd like to thank every one that responded to my original post.
It's great to finally have some conclusive closure.
