HELP!! strange noise!!

[Rickey_Dee]

thanks neil!

yes, the shield was touching the bolt, i lifted it, but haven't tried the amp yet. could that have been the cause of the noise? and yes, i will definitely add a shrink wrap here, i thought so too when i recognised this.

Ok, i fixed the shield of the ppimv and couple other solderjoints, without any results. Anyone else got an idea? Otherwise i'll take it to an amp-tech, seems that this is the only option left then.

Thanks

so... after getting the power tubes changed, everything works... seems that my other pair EL34 wasn't workin well too. i'd better get some spare-tubes, €160 for getting a new pair tung-sol EL34 installed...

anyway, everything works quite nice right now again, and i'm happy with that. thanks everyone who was tryin to help me out!!

Number 1 rule in a valve amp:

If it is not working properly sub in some different known good valves first
