Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

Ya know, I’m starting to wonder if it’s my ultrasonic humidifier. That damn thing puts a hazy film over everything when in use during the winter. The ‘residue’ is easy to clean/wipe off, but am starting to think it could do either damage or at the very least can create problems with electronics.

I have a hard time believing if could actually find a way into used tube sockets, but am thinking it could indeed be an issue. And just removing and resetting the tubes took care of it.

Think I’ll get a non-ultrasonic unit for next winter.

The Aulos Ensemble : Telemann - Essercizii Musici. MusicMasters mid-80’s release I believe.
 

Good idea replacing that at some point Brian. I stopped burning incense (or anything else LOL) in the music room because I was worried about what the smoke residue could do. Strange I'm more concerned about the electronics than my own body though 🤔

Yep, was going to replace it this year, but it was there in the basement as winter came on, and used it again anyway.

And yea, I know what you mean, I’m trying to take care of my body a little better as I get older, but yea, probably worry more about my equipment 😁 

Think I’ll reset my other two 12ax7’s. I’m really thinking the humidifier may have been the culprit.

If that thing had any effect on my Belles 400A failing….well….that is even more disturbing in hindsight.
