Hi Guys,
First time posting something here but I browse the forums almost everyday. I'll try to be as detailed as possible with my issue.
I recently purchased a small Tube Amp from Ebay. Unfortunately I'm having problems with the audio as suggested in the title. I get a variation of crackling, popping and scratching/hissing sounds coming out of the headphones, regardless of whether the volume is off or on. I've changed various outputs/inputs and re-seated the tube to try and fix the problem but to no avail. Also, it's probably worth mentioning that I'm a novice at electronics so the chances of me replacing internal parts of the amp are pretty slim.
Any ideas on what this problem could be? If you need more info let me know. I'll post pics if needed.

Thanks!
