Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Well, that didn't take very long...

To keep it simple, I just inserted each bad tube (four, the latest fifth failure is still in the Herron until I find a replacement) at V1 in the Cole phono stage. The Cole uses two, very high quality Teflon tube sockets which helps eliminate the dirty/bad socket theory.

Kind of reminds me when we lived on the ocean in Costa Rica. That pleasant kind of white noise, appropriate for surfers but not for vinyl lovers. The faulty tube hiss ranged from bad to extremely bad; all four tubes.

BTW, each of the five bad tubes came from a different socket, four from the Herron and one from the Cole.
