In Reply to: Possible causes of tube preamp sputtering when warms up - with pick posted by longtimequadowner on August 8, 2012 at 15:00:27:
It sputters after the resistor is warmed and expanded. It is likely one of those grey metal oxide resistors. RAM should use wirewound Mills resistors. I would have the unit upgraded with better resistors. Looks like RAM just did a cap swap.
