Great site, I appreciate being able to ask you-all about my problem. I've had my 212 HD130 acouple of weeks. It sounded fine in the store-at low volume- but cranking it up at home caused an irritating jingle in the tubes.The vibration makes 'em ring like far-off jingle bells..They're not loose-I checked that.(They are JJ EL34s) Also what was a hellaciously loud amp seems to be about half the volume it once was. Are these two things related? If not, what else might cause these symptoms? I would appreciate any ideas! Thanks again for a great resource.
