Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

exactly!

Recently I just heard the exact same symptoms as you described for bad tubes, when listening to my Transcendent Sound OTL tube amp.

Sure enough, I bought a quad of tested and matched EL 509s from the bay (a tube seller with almost 2000, 100% feedbacks) and installed them today.

After settling in and rebiasing a couple times, the amp is sounding great again.

The symptoms you described match perfectly with the issues I was hearing...
