Here’s a lovely story for post holiday enjoyment: A hum appeared in both my subs, which are RELs connected to a single ended amp (Inspire Fire Bottle HO) with Canare wire attached to largish spades to combine the cables…works great. I take the cables apart at the spades and re-do them, look at the Neutrik plugs at the subs, tighten everything, check all the AC cables for grounding issues…basically take the whole gear heap apart…still humming…low frequency just going on and on...go through the amp tubes (there are only 4 on this amp so no big deal)…KT88s swapped out for others, 6SN7GTB swapped for its backup…no change...I get to the rectifier, a 4 month old Gold Lion GZ34 and BINGO! Swap it for a 274B I had in reserve and the hum disappeared. The end.
