Tube Pre-amp Noise problems HELP
Does anyone know or have the knowledge about static sound in a tube pre-amp? How this happens, why it happens what could be done to fix this problem.
This is my 5th tube pre-amp. First was a Conrad Johnson PV10A, the moment I switched the tubes, I heard a very very annouying static sound. I cleaned the tube pins and sprayed clean the tube sockets it helped a little but the problem existed. Audio Research LS7 had no issues. Then Conrad Johnson PV10B I had the same problems as the PV10A, I sent to conrad Johnson and got it upgraded and yet the problem existed. Then I tried a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 SE again this static issue came after some time, this time I did not change the tubes. Now I have a Audio Experience A1 and the moment I switched the Original tubes I heard the annoying static sound, I switched back to original tubes but problem exists. They all have the same kind of hiss. Some call it tube stress, I dont know what it is. Even when I switch the tubes the hiss still continues, suddenly it goes away but eventually it returns. Can anyone help me on this?
