[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 95551, member: 144"] ... or, depending, some contacts. Gently thump the sides of the amp to find if that causes a crackle. Then wiggle cabels going in/out, and take a pencil/wooden rod and poke at the valves. If that produces results, some cleaning stuff or a more severe approach should put you right. Regarding valves, I always had reliable results with SOVTEK, or particularly the ...EH makes. They are available locally. But as said, valves seldom cause a crackling noise - apart from poor contact with the bases, as said above. [/QUOTE]
