Do you remember that this is Head-Case.org as opposed to uptightselfimportantviolinistcunts.com, right? Doug's first suggestion was either a genuine suggestion to use a silent practice violin when necessary or just a little humor. Either one was harmless and required no response if you aren't interested. Your first response was an entitled and self-important jab for no good reason at all. Doug made an appropriately direct response to your idiotic analogy and a fully justified snarky comment about 18" plaster walls that was knowingly irrelevant to your condo. Your next response was an over the top cunty tantrum that was ludicrous and reminiscent of your last exit from Head-Case. Don't let the door hit your punk ass on the way out.

No wonder they went bankrupt.

That's like telling a F1 car driver to practice driving on a Toyota Yaris.

If these are tubes that haven't been used in a long time, they may have oxide build up on some of the pins (this includes tubes that have sat on distributor's shelves too). Try cleaning the pins. A little tarnish remover, metal cleaning paste to shine them up a bit (you don't have to go crazy). If you have some Pro Gold, a little after polishing will hold off more oxidation from forming. I use Mother's Aluminum and Mag Cleaner on Q tips I've cut down and put in my Dremel. I've "saved" a lot of tubes that were headed for the circle bin with this. In sensitve positions, you can knock off a few dB's of the kind of noise you described.

Just what I need, more stuff
