ya. sorry realized after i posted that you may need more info.
i did purchase a new amp - tube. however, this was in hopes of fixing a similar problem. the old amp, a transistor, was sparking. i'd figured it somehow got fried so i got a new one. this time a tube amp.
still didn't work so i tried a ps audio unit to clean the power.
today, i tried to make sure all cables were ok. i disconnected everything and reconnected.
i have tried putting in new tubes. no go.
i'm not sure i understand all the "floating" the ground stuff. sorry haven't ever played with electrical.
i can try the component first thing but i think i used to do that with the transistor amp and today i was just trying to narrow down if there were issues with the amp and the speaker since it's the new thing.
any help is appreciated. have put enough time and $$ into this problem and am a bit frustrated. in fact, this is obviously over a bit of time.
thanks for help.
