I just picked up a VK-30 in very good shape. It had a clean bill of health from BAT in 2017, I have the receipt. But it has very loud tube noise. On my efficient Tekton Moabs (listed as 98 dB but I think closer to 95) the static is so loud it is easily heard from the listening position, which is 12 feet from the speakers. It is so loud it is unusable as is. It has 6 Sovtek 6922 tubes now. I am debating on replacing the tubes and hoping the tube noise goes away, or returning it (I picked it up for $1,000 - not a bad deal).

Any thoughts?

Thanks

(I would make this its own post, but I can't. Maybe I need 5 replies or something first....)
