@leemaze I had that issue too when the RCA's were on their last legs. Intermittent super high pitch whine. Seems to come on more often the longer they were burning in a single session. Might be tubes going bad.
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
I have a Quicksilver Line Stage Preamp (12AT7) mated to an Odyssey Khartago Stereo. Overall I like it. Way too much gain but I digress. Weeks after receiving it I rolled in a few different tubes, kinda fun to color the sound signature. I liked rhe RXA black plates I got and those stuck around for more than a year. They started going microphonic and making noises so I ordered another pair (noisy) then another different vendor (blasts of white noise) and another set that arrived today (one is noisy as holy hell and one seems fine).
So where does one order preamp quality tunes that are quiet? Is there something I’m not requesting when ordering? Maybe dump
snd go solid state? I’m trying to be humorous because I’m pissed. Ha.

decooney raises an important point with covid, many manufacturers are not manning the land lines into their offices as most if not all staff work remotely for example, one person in another thread complains that audio research doesn't answer the phone - but i email greg c (arc service manager) and he answers me in 2 hours |
