Noise Problem of ET3SE

Post by alanlaw805 »

I recently change my power amp, but the Noise level of the system increases a lot, may be double the level when using my old power amp.
only when i mute the ET3SE, noise disappears,

What is the possible source of noise problem ?

Hola and welcome Alanlaw805,

Your problem is a bad tube 6922 or E88CC into the preamp ET-3SE. Change the tube at the preamp, and problem solved.

Happy listening!

Agreed. I would look at the tubes as well first.

Yes ... bad tube. My ET3SE was hard on the tube. I had to replace it about once a year.
It’s just stuff. I like mine. I hope you like yours. I probably like yours too.
