Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Impossible to view the schematics.

What I would check:

1. Is the first stage (MC pre pre) disconnected in the MM mode?
2. Regime of the input tubes. Lower plate voltage and current produce less noise. In a typical phono section, the input 12AX7 is run at less than 100 V and 0.1 mA.
3. Noisy tubes.
4. Grid resistor of the second stage more than 47 K, or noisy resistor at this position.
5. Too high heater voltage

There are other things, but these will make most inpact.
