RE: yep

aren't your driver tubes in pcb mounted sockets?

I once gave myself some sweet 120HZ hum in a little used guitar amp changing an input tube on a pcb mounted socket ... don't know if it was me or the prior owner but someone lifted & broke a trace!

went nuts figuring it out ... well, actually I didn't, my cousin did, I still went nuts though!

it sure sounds like you've got a similar grounding issue with a socket

just a WAG because you said it improved plugging and unplugging tubes

do you have any freeze spray you could spray around the sockets & see if there's changes? might be worth a shot

with regards,
