New Tubes, New Noise

Forums
Amplification
Submitted by Reptiles00 on

Hi All,
I just received new JJ EL34 tubes for my amplifier and now when I turn it on I receive a FIZZING type noise through my left channel. The Volume does not effect the sound and I only have about 14 hours into breakin.
The sound comes about 10 seconds after I power up and goes away completely after about 20 seconds later.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Don L

Aloha,

My buddy, Big Mike, and I have received final clearance from the spouses for next week's High End show.

We're approved for non-injectable substance abuse - predominantly liquid products of fermentation - and staying up until all hours without parental responsibilities.

So, looking for some like minded fellow forumites for having some of these forum discussions/arguments/expoundifications in person.

I'm getting excited about the Show. You know what <a href="http://www.he2006.com/">Show</a&gt; I'm talking about. I have this good feeling that I'm going to rock it. Hmm, thinking back, I've actually had this good feeling before every show I've attended. Then, I get there, I shake somebody's hand, and I get sick. Disappointed and fatigued, I get left in the dust. <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/010606neer/">The guys call me names.</a> But, that's not going to happen this time. No, it isn't. Today is a new day.

When I was a corporate speechwriter, I wrote a speech for the head of the "research" division. He bragged that his store could track customers so accurately through their purchases that he could send targeted sales supplements to expecting parents, in some cases, <I>before</I> the wife informed her husband she was pregnant.

Back before music fans morphed into gaming fans, before lip synching became the rage, before utter horseshit like American Idol was even a wet dream, there were thriving clubs and committed music freak club owners like Clifford Antone.

Craig Robins couldn't understand why his favorite show wasn't available on DVD, but instead of carping about it, he bought the rights and released it himself. I'd consider buying a copy for that alone, but now that I know that the show in question was written by Steven Moffat, who created <I>Coupling</I>, it's a no-brainer.
