Squeaking/Paper Crinkling Noise Coming from Lamm LL2.1


Can someone suggest what the problem may be? Hearing noises in quiet passages and with no source playing through my Lamm LL2.1. 

Noises are equal in both channels. I've swapped out all the tubes. Replaced the cables. Still happening. Doesn't change with volume level. 

Ugh. Lamm is so bad with repairs.

Thought it was a noisy tube too. Replaced all the tubes and the sound was exactly the same, so that's not the problem.

The amps are solid state but the sound goes away when the Lamm is muted or off so it's not related to the amps.

Tubes from Lamm? Some preamps are very sensitive to noisy tubes, even good quality brand new tubes. Sometimes you need to select only the finest low noise tubes and even then you can get one that doesn't work. The sound you describe sounds just like what happen in my CJ preamp. I'm out of ideas unless you have some other tubes upstream?. 

Very low noise tubes from Brent Jessee. Also, there's no way if I replaced all the tubes even with less low noise tubes, the exact same sound would be coming out. Something would change.

No other tubes. Just Herron M1A monos. 

Can it be some other electronic component like a capacitor?
