Audioprism Mantissa tube preamp buzz

Is there a buzz coming from the outboard power supply? Perhaps there's a grounding issue there if it is (i.e. transformer hum).

Does it sound like a buzz or a hummmmm? In other words, did you perhaps disconnect a wire from the RCA's while you were in there? Check that all of the wires inside are connected at both ends and nothing is floating free.

Are the tube sockets solidly connected or did you perhaps loosen one up when pulling out a tube? Does the buzz switch from left to right when you swap tubes, or is it in both channels?

I would take it to a tech if the above mentioned fail

You probably have disconected something from the valve sockets,maybe a bad pin conection betwwen the valve socket and the board,could be a loose wire somewhere,as well...could be one of your interconects..check for shorts in the cabling,wiring..best wishes Dan

Should a repair be required, you might want to contact Raptor Electronics. The owner, Brian Hawkins, was part of the original AudioPrism/Red Rose technical team. He can repair and make modifications/upgrades to electronics made by AudioPrism & Red Rose.
