Phono preamp hum


I have a inexpensive Bellari phonostage that sounds pretty good after a 15 minute warmup, but develops a terrific hum after about 30 minutes.  It has one tube.  Anyone have an idea?

@lewm  No it isn't.  @Kokomo  Nope, I have given up on it.  I have another unit that works fine.

Your OP is dated 11/15, and on 11/16 you already have replaced the unit. Was this just a quiz?

No quiz.  It has been back in the box for a couple years.  I keep looking at it wondering what's wrong.  Thought maybe I could get some help as I am no tube genius.  Maybe I will give it away and let it drive someone else crazy.

I’m sure it’s an easy fix. But the fixer needs physical access to the unit.

I’ve had a bad tube behave like that in the past…I replaced the tube, and never heard it again.
