Brad in your vid the crackling stops after about 30 seconds, is it there when you turn the preamp on and fades away? Or does it keep coming back?
Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922
I just picked up a MK-30, that had been checked out at BAT in 2017 with a clean bill of health. Receipt says "clean and clear".
But on my efficient Tekton Moabs, the tube noise is very audible at the listening position. So much so, I can not use this preamp. I am debating on just reselling it, or trying new tubes to see if the noise goes away or at least down. The Sovtek 6922s are now hard to find from any reputable source, what is a good alternative. I don't need the best fanciest NOS tubes, just a good solid performer.
Any suggestions?
