  • Is it this loud all the time? Does it increase/decrease with the volume?
    I have a similar buzz in a 2 channel but it is way softer in sound and I also hear the rectifier tubes ring (at least one of them) although I am using the silicon diodes but was wondering if a rectifier 5u4g tube makes noise, it can be heard in the signal somewhere eventhough I am not using the rectifiers in the signal (from the vibration noise of the 5u4g's)

  • That Electra Dyne is one amazing sounding amp! Is that an aftermarket head shell on the Electra Dyne? I've never seen one like that before. I like it better than the original oval shaped design head shell.
    Thanks!

  • The great thing about tube heads though is once you change the filter caps, the amp will be good as new.
