Re: Now you've got me scared!

Of course the easiest way to tell if you have a microphinic tube is to turn the unit on, let it warm up for about 1/2 an hour, then lightly tap on each tube. If there are microphonic ones in there, you should clearly hear them through the speakers! If you don't, then the problem is a little deeper!
But I think you already knew that!
Not trying to scare you, but thats exactly what I thought was wrong with my preamp before getting it to my "tube guru" friend.
