@fuzztone good call. will try that.
@audioquest4life Nagra is very, very good at QC and it happened with both the tubes that came with the Jazz (picked it up pre-owned), and with new ones I got directly from Nagra. If it is the preamp, I'm not sure it's the tubes (but anything is possible at this point!).
Unidentifiable popping sound
Not 100% sure it goes in this forum — apologies if there is a better place.
For 6 months now, something in my system is making a clicking/popping sound. It usually happens 15 minutes after I power things up, or about 10 minutes after I power them down. It can also happen spontaneously when everything is technically on standby. I actually have a recording of it, but not sure how to upload here. Any ideas?
Preamp — Nagra Jazz (possible) (it happened with both old and brand new tubes)
Amp — Nagra Classic Amp (possible)
DAC/Source — PS Audio Directstream (possible)
Phono stage — Pure Audio LV-1 (probably not)
TT — Clearaudio Concept (definitely not that)
Cables — Luna Orange (also, definitely not that)

Thanks so much for the replies everybody. Lots of good thoughts and suggestions for me to experiment with here (and some solid jokes). @wolverine1 I'm really curious to see if this is the same sound you heard with the bridge. Is there any way I could fling this recording I made over to you to see if its a match? @reubent it's definitely coming from something electronic, it's not from or through the speakers. |
