Amp or Source problem...

[larry.said]

I just recently (a month ago) ordered an Ear+ HD amp and I think there may be something wrong with it now. When I start it up I hear a crackling from the tube - although I've read that that's normal -. The major problem is that at high frequencies I hear distortion. This only happens with certain CDs however and only when we get to loud high frequencies (church organ booming at higher notes). Could this be an amp or source problem?

Edit: this was with a cambridge audio 340C not the T1000

Is it correct assume this does not occur with the T1000? Have you also tried changing the tubes?

Sounds like the tube is on it's way to tube heaven...

Could that be? its only about 50 hours old...Seems unlikely

It may just be a defective tube. QC ain't what it used to be...

Even at low hours all components have a chance to go awry for no reason, I would try replacing it with a cheap tube from ebay

HAHAHA!!! Lol, sorry, didn't mean Quebec, lol.... At first, I was trying to figure out what you were talking about, but then glanced at your location and started laughing. We're not vain here, just self obsessed, loud, stupid, and rude...you guys just talk funny and have a hard time with your tenses. Ever listen to a Patrick Roy interview? Man, that guy was funny.
