    SP14 question Empty SP14 question

    Post by ikir Sun Mar 22, 2020 2:32 pm

    Hi, I am new to this forum, tube gear and to hi-fi stereo in general. I've recently completed SP14 preamp (I got assembled PCB, so only minimal soldering required).
    When I power the preamp and start listening, sometimes I can hear a little hum or pops in speaker - this effect seems to completely go away after probably 5 minutes or so. Is this normal or I have done something wrong?

    Thank you,
    Kirill

    Have you tried changing tubes?
    Are the tubes NOS?

    Tubes are NOS, I didn't try to change tubes, but I did try to use second output.
