It wasn't the Triomphe model though. They used a filter capacitor in their power supply marked 'Bindu' which was a really suspect name to find on a filter capacitor; to make matters worse they ran it at about 30 volts over the rated voltage!
Not surprisingly they had a way of blowing off the circuit board... I was lucky; the part missed me and embedded itself in the false ceiling above me and left a mess everywhere. My ears rang for 10 minutes.
I don't blame this on Futterman though; Futterman knew enough to not do something stupid like that. It was just poor engineering. IMO Fourier products cannot be ethically repaired as there is no way to warrant that they will keep working.
