Phono pre-amp problems

Hello to all,
I have Sonic Frontiers SFP-1 signature phono stage and wondering if anyone has had this problem with this phono stage. The problem is that when playing an LP the sound will go out and no music will play for approx. 2-3 seconds, then back on, it will do this three or four times in a half hour and I hear a clicking noise inside the phono stage, It's the same clicking I hear when unit is first turned on and when it's warmed up. Every time this happens the led light blinks on the phono stage as if I were turning it on. Anyone care to tackle this one?
Thanks

If there's a left & right tube in question, flip-flop them and see if the clicking & noise moves to the other side. If so, it's the tube, if not, more serious problem.

If the tube complement doesn't allow this, you'll need to try an entire new tube set to test it out.
