My Mac MC-30s were crackling on and off randomly. I tracked it to the left mono block and didn't want to change out 7 tubes to figure out which one was the issue.

I tried swapping back and forth a bit, but then talked to John, my tech for them, and he said to clean the sockets and use some deox-IT. If it didn't do it, then tweak the tube sockets and tighten them.

Luckily, the deox-IT and cleaning did the trick.
