Tubes becoming microphonic


I own a CARY SLP-05, this is my first experience with tube equipment. I recently read a thread and the person mentioned his tubes became "microphonic". How can you tell when your tubes become "microphonic". What are some of the leading signs. Thanks

"microphonic" implies to bad or poor tube that needs to be replaced. you can also tap on amp or preamp chassis to get the same microphonics in that case so you should carefully examine which tube is realy give troubles 'cause you may tap on one tube and another tube will "respond"...
