If you buy a "matched" pair of tubes should you still burn them in?
Originally posted by taoster what's the difference between burned in tubes compared to non-burned in tubes? The reason I ask is that my new tubes seems to have occasional pops and crackles.. could this annoyances disappear with burn-in? |
Originally posted by taoster i hope my output 6dj8 dont fall under the inherently noisy category. I've had it on for over 8hrs on continously and i am still getting scratches, pops and a low hum coming through on one side. its really quite annoying. how do you go about cleaning tube pins? spray some circuit cleaners on the pins? how about getting some wire meshes and scraping the pins with it? |
