Try removing and re- seating the tubes. Swap the left channel w/ right. If hiss goes to other channel, you know its the tubes. Fortunately, the tubes in the pv 10 are readily available and in expensive. Good luck.
CJ PV-10aL Problem
This afternoon, I fired up my system and lo and behold, I notice a certain hiss and crackle from my left speaker. Check connections, no issues. Try different amp, no issues there. Change pre-amps, hiss and crackle goes away.
I just got the CJ and am I to guess that it is the tubes? What else would cause the hiss/crackle?
I am now using a Rotel RC-955 pre and umm, I think I like the tube sound better.
Thanks,
E
