It did the same king of bad crackling noise with a pair of TungSols. It could also be bad 6C8G adapters. I only have one pair of those so its hard for me to say. Ill wait a little bit before doing other tests. I have to say that its pretty amazing for me how tube rolling became stressful :(

For common knowledge, as Roshambo was saying I had power issues that caused(in part) one AKT5p drivers to bust. I think the other part of the problem was the Ken-Rad I was using. The bad crakcling sound came back but a little less strong. I haven't used my Ken-Rad in two weeks scared to break...

Something interesting just happened. The crackling just came back on the right socket. Just for fun I swapped the one of the two top socket savers and the crackling followed the socket saver. So I deduct that my problem is caused(in part) by a bad socket saver. Make sense? Do socket saver are...

I have 6C8G VT163 1940's Tungsol plugged in right now(which I really like by the way ;). Cant remember what tubes I had when I first heard the crackling noise. I did roll multiple tubes in including LYSST and multiple socket savers and the problem was more or less present with all of them.

Bad luck indeed. And the problem is not completly fix still. Someone at Schiit suggested to try Emotica CMX-2, wich I ordered. Just as I'm writting this, my right channel started to do some bad scratching sound again. I closed the amp, unplugged/repluged the tube from the socket saver and the...

My Mjolnir2 came back and and everything seemed ok, no crackling sound. Left everything plugged on with low volume and I went away in our leaving room for a snack. Maybe half a hour later I heard this horrible scraching sound comming from the room where my amp is. Ran to it, unplugged my AKT5p...

Ok. Good to know. Ill test everything when I get my amp back and let you know. Meanwhile if anybody have experience to share about that kind of problem, please let me know. Thanks a bunch!

My amp is in the mail back from Schiit, I should get it in one or two days so unfortunately I cant test it right now. I use socket savers. Swapping the sockets didn't change anything. Pretty sure I checked all connections, but plugging everything back together Ill make sure to double check all...

When the problem started it was maybe a little worst cold but eventually didn't make a difference.

Yes, exactly. Just tapping gently or even touching the tube/LISST can start a gradual crackling noise.

I also tryed balanced and non balanced headphones and I got the same scratching/crackling horrible noise. Could it be that both pair of cables(Rca and balanced) were pluged at the same time?

Thanks Roshambo for the quick answer. It only happen on the right socket. I also noticed that when I was touching/pushing in the LISST or tubes, there was a red/orange led close to the LISST/tube on the right that was fluctuating. I ordered a 2m(minimum length to my pc) Straight Wire usb cable...

Hello, I bought my Mjolnir2/Gungnir combo 3 years ago. Couple months ago I started to get crackling noise out of my amp. It got worst and worst to a point where I sent it back to Schiit. Unfortunately they didn't hear/see anything wrong with it and sent it back to me. Does anybody had similar...

Does anyone have suggestions for ways to keep a clean and visual track of your tubes, values(mA, Gm, Mu...) pictures... Excel?

No worries, was just kidding. I really need to calm down on buying tubes. I have enough tubes(diefferent Siemens, Reflektors 74/75, Miniwatts...) to roll for a while. Still, I would be really interested to know how yellow Valvos sound with my Mjolnir2/GungnirMB/akt5p(sorry I know this is a Lyr...
