Give Up?


Put a new DAC in. Speaker starts cutting out. Amp starts clicking.
Quick, what's the problem?
That was my experience today.
Any armchair tech assessments?
I did find the issue, and I'll confirm it when it's correctly identified.

Cold, Cold, all responses cold so far!
You begin to see that this was beyond a simple misconfiguration issue. This was a tube DAC, but it was not a bad tube.
wrong tubes installed

contact enhancer in the tube sockets

loose wire on one or both tube socket

loose framus bolt

broken knarkle valve

stuck gangley joint
