And never had tubes becomes noisy although I've replaced some that were just getting to the end of their time and becoming kind of dull sounding.

Hi Joe, great to see you join us cj fans here.

maybe I am being fussy? the tubes are not microphonic or anything. the tube rush comiong out of the tweeter is louder that it should be, and louder on one channel than the other. I put in another cj EH 6922 and the noise reduces back to normal.

Not something you can even hear from the listening chair unless you are looking for it.

But in the new year, it will be time to try a few alternatives and have some fun.
