I recently got a TTVJ portable hybrid tube amp and i love it atm but there are a few things i have a questions about help would be most apprecieated.
First are there any specifics on how to do the blue tac mod for the microphonics of the tube like under the tubes or over or inbetween ect.
second can leaving the amp on for long periods of time with no load(headphones pluged in) and no source short because i know with my speaker tube amp if you leave it on for a while with no speakers plugged in it can short out but i dont know about hybrid systems mine was on when i opened the box from the mail so im guessing it was on the whole shipping time.
third there is a buzz that pops up once in a while with out me doing anything like if im listening to music or nothing playing once in a while my right chanel will go "buzz buzz" for a second or two and then go away. this problem is worring me the most
third are the tubes supposed to glow when the amp is on be cause mine are not or too dimly to be seen, my speaker amp with its 12ax7 and el84s glow quite a bit but again im not sure about hybrid systems. i guess im just worried my tubes are broken but i suppose if i can hear somthing it has to be working right(again i dont know anything about hybrids just tube amps themselfs)?
any insight on any of these things would help me a lot. Thanks in advanced.
PS: are there anyplaces to get new/replacement tubes for the amp.
