Well, yeah, I could buy that conclusion except, as I said in my
original posting, my local dealer, Creative Computers in Lawndale,
has a plethora of Amiga demo machines - A1000s, 500s, and 2000s, most of
which are topped with 1084 or 1084S tubes and ALL of them *snap* and
*fritz* to some extent.... this leads me to believe, as I also said,
that it is NOT my Amiga, my AC power, the tap bar I have my hardware 
plugged into, or anything else that *I* am doing/using.

At any rate, I'm now on my second brand new 1084S (Creative swapped it out
for the fried one, no questions asked), and we'll see how it goes.
