Thanks for the welcome friend.

I didn't say anything about a multimeter squirrel dave. Thanks for your input, it didn't help much though.

Ive only owned solid state gear my entire life but have always been intrigured by tubes. A few months back I took a chance and bought Fisher integrated amp and got it up and running and plan on completely recapping it soon. Loving the sound I purchased a dynaco 70 kit and put it together easily...

I don't know what chipsets or IRQ's are .... but if something was corupt, I was thinking I could simply delete the driver for the USB's from device manager and then reboot the computer and the drivers would be automatically reinstalled.... would that fix the issue? Unless your referring to...
