Is the sound in both channels or just one? If it's in one channel try swapping the tubes from one channel to the other and see if the noise changes sides. The power tubes are the large tubes yes and swap those they are most likely the culprit if it is in fact a tube or tubes going bad.
Tube Failure question
I am new to tubes. I have Primaluna Prologue mono blocks. I have had the amps for about a year. Also using solid state bryston preamp. Lately I have popping and at higher volume last night some screeching sounds that go away at lower volume. Can this be a tube failure? If so I would like to have good sounding tubes with as much power as possible. Suggestions? I am assuming that the power tubes are the large ones. Is this correct? If so suggestions for the smaller tubes to sound warm and musical? Speakers are large with separate horns and tweeters. I live in Canada so if possible would like to buy tubes here. All suggestions welcome. Thanks, Tom
