Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: Looking for troubleshooting help

There was no need to switch tubes in the power amplifier. The first test revealed the problem is not in the power amplifier. It could be a connection problem or an interconnect problem, though. Do you have another pair of balanced interconnects to go in-between the preamp and the power amp? If not, try switching interconnects from left to right just to determine whether the problem is a faulty interconnect. If the problem switches channels, then the interconnect is at fault. If the problem goes away, then it was a bad connection at the preamp output. If you are not already doing so, you should use Caig DeoxIT Gold on all connections.

If the problem remains after changing interconnects, then your problem is in the preamp.

Good luck,
John Elison
