Rodman and Jab are each correct. It's a matter of assuming a certain amount of risk (Rodman) vs. a lot more expense (for Wavac tubes ;-) Were I in your position, I'd contact Wavac and let them decide for you.
Problem with Tube?
Hello my friends,
lately I am experiencing one problem with the tubes of my Wavac MD-805.
When I switch on the amplifiers I have to wait around 10-15 minutes to listen to music. If I dont wait I hear a scratching sound from one of the speakers like "tearing paper" sort of...
If I wait and listen after 15 minutes from the switch on there is no problem, I suppose because the tubes warm up!! The problem only appears if I play music immediately.
Is this a serious problem? Do I need to change the tube causing the problem? Is my tube dying? Is this affecting the sound quality even after 15 minutes when there seems to be no problem?
Thanks in advance
Mike
