From my experience, D'Addarios never break. I used them for 2 years on 2 different guitars and none of them ever broke.

The point is that he is that lazy to spend 5 minutes to put strings on his guitar that he considers not playing for a week or two. That makes him a moron in another way, but it's not my business. Anyway, thanks @arvoitus for pointing it out, I laughed.
Mistakes happen all the time, even to pros. There's really no point in insulting the_phenom. It's not like he doesn't know how to handle a tube amp, he just wasn't careful enough.
EDIT: And I agree with Josh - Ernie Balls sound way better than D'Addario (to my ears). D'Addarios never snapped on my guitars though, Ernie Balls did.

Yes. Thank you; Corny! I didn't really think about it. 
I just hope i didn't blow the transformator or something. That'd be sad.
I just hope i didn't blow the transformator or something. That'd be sad.I don't like how D'Addarios sound, that's why I want a change in the first place. But durability is really important, I hate having to fuck around with tuning n shit. So I have some kind of dilemma here

Do any of you play with 9-42 strings tuned to D standard? I generally use 10-46 and am wondering if 9-42 aren't too thin to downtune with because I enjoy the feel of thin strings. Or would they just flop all over the place and feel/sound like shit?
well I play in D standard with 11-49 ... and it kinda feels flappy to me ( haha )
Ehhh. I'm using 9-42 strings at the moment because I like the ease of vibrato and bending with them, they're naturally slightly loose feeling and that's what I like. However I'm just in standard E, tuning lower could make them too loose.

I use 11 gauge for D standard and lower. And then 10 gauge for E standard. I used d'addarios for a while, but I switched to elixirs, 340928342853x better imo

I'm willing to pay more if they last longer. I guess over time it's about the same expense as when I use cheaper ones

Okay, i have a plan now.
1.Get the amp checked at some electrician if some resistors or the transformer has blown.
2.If so, have them repair and the replace the tubes.(If it becomes expensive i will forget about the repairing though).
3.If it's unfixable i will buy something like a ENGL Thunder used or something...they go for a good 500 around here.
