Quick and free fuse tweak
@threeeasypayments I updated post. I have a bag of fuses and tried it with and without on the phono preamp. Definite improvement like a rightness about the sound. Sounds faster.

@sleepwalker65 Not funny.I have not tried these but there seems to be a lot of interest in Graphene recently in shielding and noise reduction in power supplies. What sort of improvement did you experience? 
How many turntable’s have you owned?

TT on Symposium Super Segue - slate or maple underneath?

A new turntable under 500-700euros

Tube amp troubles
Sure there is. You could have a damaged passive component that is overheating or out of spec such that it is breaking down enough to trigger a protection circuit. You could open it up and do a visual inspection but it is unlikely you'll see anythi...
