Noise from Left Channel


I noticed last night that there is some noise or low level hissing coming from the left channel mainly the tweeter. I am wondering if it is a tube from either the CD player or preamp. Both of them are Jolida. I seriously doubt it is the amp because all of the caps were replaced just a few months ago and thoroughly gone thru with a fine tooth comb. Guess I am asking what happens when a tube starts to go? Thanks in advance.

Can be a faulty tube - but usually a faulty tube will let the 'infected' channel go softer till it is totally quiet.

Don't be surprised if it is a capacitor! Also suspect loose connections & dry soldier joints/connections in the amp or cdp.

Kind rgrds,
