While I'm here, does anyone know the usual cause for a valve amp
constantly "rustling" out of one channel? Mine is doing it
intermittently and sometimes loudly, out of the left channel.
Is it likely to be a resistor burning up, or something about
the valves? Is it likely to be in the output stage valves or
cathode resistors, or...? It's starting to drive me nuts!


One guess would be a leaky capacitor.
