| Music and politics That guy should have posted 25 years ago. Maybe he was too young or just woke up. U2 has always been about politics and social issues. They just expanded their viewpoint from Ireland to the world. | |

| my tubes are hissing non - stop Sorry, should have read that it was the power amp that was upgraded. In most cases replacing tubes is just a matter of removing the preamp cover and removing the tubes from their sockets and replacing them the same way. Just check that the pins ar... | |
| my tubes are hissing non - stop This is a very common occurrence when tubes are on their way out. Sounds to me like your preamp tubes need to be replaced. Until the preamp is turned and there is a line level or phono signal, the power amp should be quiet. Since you just upgraded... | |

| Artists that sound alike - your best match-up Younger Rod Stewart and Louis Armstrong. Bob Dylan now and the Wookie from Star Wars. | |
