Hi Guys,
neither tube rush or hum are problems.
Just the emphasis on surface noise through the Syrah
as compared to the Quicky.
Can't be the turntable set up and with the gain
levels set my cd volume is pretty much
as I would expect , the phono needs a tad more
volume.
It's not the end of the world, just a bit annoying.
Dilly - like the idea of a cheap tube tester but I've
found that even tubes that test well sometimes go noisy
after a few days or weeks use.
I think Mick gives good advice about tubes - I've
wasted a lot of money on NOS tubes.
Nice as some of them sound, there not much use when
they die after a few days !
