I play a lot of LP recently and last night I noted that sound was quite bad. It was like a bad electricity day only atop of it sound has some kind of odd digitalization atop of everything. Of course I was blaming the PurePower 3000 but then I realized that my FM and my digital sounded fine. My mono arm loaded into another phonostage was fine but both of my stereo arms: reference and daily arms were horrible. In fact I did not recognize that reference arm was bad as well and I was fighting with my daily arm. I did some modification on it and I thigh that was the reason. Apparently it was not as my reference arm that I did not touch sounded in the very same way.
So, I think my “End of Life Phonostage” has died. There is nothing in there that might die and I did not touch it sine I move but something is wrong in there. The tubes died. I use the same tubes for 12 year in this phonostage, I did not test then for 5-6 year but 12AX7 shall not die suddenly like this. I did have fine sound 2 days back, it shell not take foe this tine one day to die. Anyhow, this requires investigations there is something very wrong with this phonostage now.
