intermittent static with little dot mk III

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

So i got my little dot a couple weeks ago and everything was fine. A couple days ago however i started to notice some pretty bad static coming from only the right channel. I cleaned the tube pins with alcohol and switched them. After switching them the static switched sides as well, so im pretty sure i know what tube is causing the problem. Also, the problem tube looks very dirty to me. Theres some stuff that looks like it might be rust up near the silver cap and the glass is dirty and cloudy.

 

 

Heres a picture of the bad tube

Sorry for the poor quality, all i had was my phone. It doesnt look that dirty in person, but you get the idea.

Why not just replace it.

Id rather there have been a quick fix (which there was), than having to wait for a new one to be shipped out considering im getting my hd650s tomorrow

 

Anyways, a ground loop isolater fixed it. No static at all now
