Same thing happened to me, with them 2 Transistors.(2SA1302, and 2SC3231).
I used them in TWO different Pioneer amps. BOTH of them blowed up, and
caused additional problems in the output ckts.
Mine was in the SK series package. I know better then to use SKs,...but,
that's all I could get my hands on at the time. I STILL don't know where to
get reliable replacements for them. Can't trust anybody, anymore.
Distributors won't listen. It goes in one ear, and out the other.
