In Reply to: Instantaneous hum posted by breadhead on April 5, 2007 at 04:08:33:
I listened carefully to the amp and these are my observations. The moment I turn on power there is a slight hum from the speakers. Once the tubes start to conduct there is an increase in the volume but it now sounds more like a buzz than a hum. I also noted that as I turn the volume control up the noise volume decreases. There is a point when the volume control is turned up to about a 7 out of 10 that the noise almost disappears. Hope this info helps.
Thanks,
Jim
