Tubes Asylum

Yeah, it was as you said, a bad tube in the gain stage

I figured as much when inserting the JJs stopped the static sound through the headphones and what seemed like microphonics.

I just reversed the matched pairs, so what was in the diver sockets are now in the gain sockets and the preamp sounds fantastic. No static in through the headphones and simply a wonderful, rich sound with strong bass.

I bought the tubes through my local dealer and it's been just under 30 days so I'll call him on Wednesday and see what he/Jesse can do regarding the bad tube.

Sounds great now though. Now I have a better understanding of the limitations to the JJs, though they certainly do not sound bad.
