Gil Ayan	Re: JCM800 2203 does it need a new OT? I suppose the recipie of one minute + band volume + Marshall may be not so good. Speaking of this, someone in a book (Weber?) made what I think is a good point: if you realize your speaker in unlugged after you turn the amp from standby to on, rather than putting the amp in standby again or shutting the amp off, just plug in the speaker. That will save the OT from dealing with the "thump" (current surge) twice with no load. Gil
