I cleaned everything as best I could. I think the problem is actually the outlets in my office. I moved the entire rig to the bedroom and it's super quiet. I think I need to look into power conditioners if I want to keep the rig in my office. I also got some really good directional RCA cables...

Both channels. I experimented a little by slowly pulling out the headphone cable from the input jack. Usually when you do that, you'll hear one channel drop out but maybe you can still hear the other channel. In this case, I could still hear both channels, albeit aurally dimmed, but I didn't...

Is there anyway to isolate which tube(s) is/are the culprit without having other tubes yet to roll?

I just tried. I cleaned them diligently, but the static is ever present. I do have some Brimar tubes coming in the mail. If the static persists after rolling the front tubes for the Brimars, I suppose I'll contact Schitt.

Hmmm, this is day two of owning/using the valhalla and there's now a static noise floor. I wasn't there before. I haven't swapped out any tubes are used different electrical outlets. It's definitely in the amp--I unplugged the inputs. There's also, from time to time, a sort of digital drip...

That's the ticket. Thanks!

I tried a few times now to place an order on tubemonger.com. Doesn't seem to be operable right now (says I need to fill out the payment details even though I have). Does anyone know where I can purchase the BRIMAR CV4033s? Thanks.

"Just curious--how do you know what the answer key is?"-----Febs, the answer key was at the very end of the result pages. I got my score (89.9) and continued to press the next arrow, which displayed the bell shaped distribution of scores and finally the answer key.

I'm sure number 33 on the tone perception test is different, yet the answer key has it as the same! For those of you who scored very well on this test, yet missed a few, was 33 one of the ones you missed?

Grateful Dead---Dozin at the Knick

Can I unistall the drivers or whatever, but still feed the signal out thru the device? thanks

Is there someway to bypass the TBAAM's amp and use it as a direct line-out?

Thanks again Solth, so if not an ipod, what are some mp3 player alternatives to the ipod that has digital line out capabilities?

Thanks for the reply Sloth, but I'm afraid I don't understand you. So there is no way to use the amp's DAC with an ipod? What is this data stream you refer to? Also is a mini not the same thing as a 1/8th. Sorry if these questions are dumb.
