RE: Tung-Sol EL34B noise in PrimaLuna Dialogue HP Integrated

Clean the sockets and tube pins well to ensure the tubes are making good contact with the tube pins. Look at my FAQ post (link below) for some good info on it. Don't cut corners - do a real thorough job. The amp will benefit no matter what the ultimate issue is.

That cleaning may take care of it - but if ALL the tubes are making the noise it pretty well rules out the idea of bad tubes. I mean - maybe 1 or 2 could be bad, but all 8? Assuming they came from a decent vendor I doubt that is even possible.

Let us know what you find.
