Title: incandescent blue cloud in 5u4 rectifier
Post by zul on 05/07/09 at 16:54:33

Lately, my 5u4 has been flickering at switch on. Today it displayed a swirling cloud of bright bluish purple which persisted for at least five seconds. (No, I haven't had too much coffee) Is this a sign my 5u4 is preparing itself for vacuum tube Valhalla?

Thanks for any insight anyone might lend.

Zul,

I have had them do that for months and then go, I've had them do it twice and were gone.....

I would be buying a back up real soon if you don't already have one.....
