  Hi frcsk
  I have (with remarkable results) swopped out all my AN Copper caps to V-Cap Teflons. I replaced both the older paper in oil, and the newer mylar in oil AN types.
  
  The V-Caps are amazing clarity, so smooth and great dynamics and bass. Plus indestructable as can take overload and high heat tolerances. I recommend you take this opportunity to fit the V-Caps. The cost seems prohibative, but the SQ is like night and day, you will love them.

    Thanks astrostar59,
    
    Will definitely give a try the V-Cap Telfon.

  I doubt it's a bad transformer, sounds more like the symptoms of a failing coupling capacitor. If the preamp is more than a few years old and has the old style AN copper foil in oil caps they should be replaced.
