Ringing Sound In Tube Gear

Hah! Good luck Tarraga...hopefully the knowledge experience and good will...will prevail and your ring will be sorted out. Good luck...and remember - sometimes when you tap on output tubes...be careful. If the tube is causing a problem even the gentlest tap will be quite loud thru your speakers. On the other hand, if not, a gentle tap should not result in any noise coming thru. If you use a pencil, use the eraser part...you dont need to tap with the wooden/lead part at all.

Hmmm the tapping (gentle w/eraser)produced no major noise during tests, but the ringing seems to have abated for now. I may try tube dampers anyway as the amp I have in another system came with them already installed on the tubes (it sounds great, btw) and it seems like a good idea.

Well, I could start singing, "WE Are Family...," but that's not really my style. :)

;) hey if it stopped...great! If you like your tube dampers...you may wish to try EAT tube dampers at some point. 19 bucks each and they are stunningly good. I got one on the recommendation of the distributor. I now have them on my other tubes as well.

Thanks!
