I need help tracking down a problem. Both speakers have sound but one sounds normal the other is diminished some and sounds unbalanced. How do you track down problems like this? Just really need a set of procedures. Hopefully someone will be able to help.
1st thing I would try is swap the tubes from left to right, if you get reversed lowering there’s your problem. That would seem most likely with tube amps
I really appreciate you responding to my plight! I get out of sorts when I can’t listen to music.
I believe one of the signal tubes a mono block is failing.
Start by swapping channels progressively. First one component, then put it back and go to the next. At one point, if it’s not the speaker itself, you’ll find that the problem moves. That will narrow it down. You’re welcome to email me directly if you need.
I have tracked down the the offending component, it is one of the mono blocks. I suspect tubes to be the problem. Here’s what’s going on, with the amps turned on and unhooked from preamplifier one is making a loud static hissing sound not a buzz. Is my suspicion correct, please comment.
Again thanks too everyone who commented oh yeah who’s this Paul guy he’s pretty smart, lol.
Tubes are absolutely the, it’s the signal tubes 12ax7 and 12BH7. An I have plenty of spares for them. I appreciate everyones interest in helping me get back to music.
