I'm going nuts trying to figure out which tubes (IF ANY) are the cause of me (my preamp) is having humming issues. Anybody have an extra tube tester they want to get rid of? Please PM me details.

Thanks
Juan

    If you don't find on here, do a search for tube tester on ebay. There are a bunch of them on there.

    The Hickok 800 is a very good tester. I would recommend Hickok over any other brand, IMO.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    The Hickok 800 looks like the one my dad has. I don't think he'd part with it though and I probably wouldn't let him.
