seti Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If a tube amp has hiss or noise I have usually tracked it down to a faulty tube. I bought an Onix SP3 used for $475 and it has been very quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipbarrett Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Is that audiophile grade hotglue? Actually it's to avoid microphonics from the electrolytics - hot glue, exactly as recommended by Morgan Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipbarrett Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 According to Mr. Jone, it has to be the right kind of hot glue! How do I know this? I read the chapter on capacitors last night by coincidence. Maybe there's a buisness for us supplying Audiophile Grade Hot Glue? "I noticed a dramatic depth to the blacks and yet a clean tempo to the soundstage once I'd squirted md-pb hot glue into all my equipment's orifices." Retail price = $1,125.00 per tube.
