I must now admit my ignorance on European sockets and plugs.

Does the below look like yours, or could you get a picture of the wall plug?

yes, exactly like this.

 

[bcowen]

yes, exactly like this.

Ah, OK. Do you have a piece of electrical tape (or plastic tape, etc) that you could use to cover the earth ground contacts on the plug? Again, just wanting to see if this is a grounding issue, so trying to (temporarily only) take the earth ground out of the picture.

Just tried om 2 outlets in 2 different rooms, it's still there.

Unfortunately, none of solutions available to me- Emotiva doesn't have a 220V version and PS audio's has been discontinued.

I was thinking along similar lines. Not that they have to be those brands, etc. but some type of power conditioner could help.

Seems like it's your residence electrical system that's causing the hum.

you can walk a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it. .. who said that!.....oh wait ... it was me.

Yeah, I was going to mention checking for a ground loop issue. It could also be inside the amp? Hope you can figure it out. Are you comfortable taking it apart to get to the transformer? Do you have modder blood?



Received the NOS Mullard from Langrex last evening. It felt like I was the first to open the box and unwrap the paper. After some decent hours with it now.. I can say it beat my expectations and is a great power tube, highly recommend it.

Paired with the L63s, a phenomenal combo for jazz and such on the hd6xx. I first noticed it’s highly responsive dynamics, it brings out the highs and details but still has a full warm natural sound.

Sick, gonna have to try that combo tonight, and love how the adapter sits flush there... might try to mod mine to do the same.. razor blade and bandaids here they come ..

Off topic but,...

My best friend was in upstate NY over the weekend and brought me home a gift,

This is not right, I know he didn't pay a ton of money, but am I wrong, These are not real Mullard tubes are they?

Asking the Mighty gods of this thread.....

it's a sweet looking Russian tube. They're not real Mullards, they didn't make 6as7g tubes (not to my knowledge). Bet it sounds killer though.

Maybe russian due to the saucer getters on the bottom....

That's what I thought, looks exactly like my Sovtek! I didn't say anything to him but knew it wasn't right I was just making sure. They are both brand new told me he paid 30 for the pair.

Thanks for helping me out, and yes I saw the ufo getters right away...lol

Still while off topic somewhat - just to tag a question related to these sovteks/mullards -- one of the markings I have question on is the "Made in England". I know Mullards have something to the effect of Made in Gt. Britain or something similar. Is the Made in England printing an automatic fake giveaway as well as far Mullard/Gec/Europe Gov/Mil Tubes?

I paid the same for mine. It’s labeled by Edicron and is a nice tube to have around.
