New build after a week

[Applemacman]

You all helped before with the no sound issue I had. Which was a incorrect wiring of the headphone jack now rectified. However after living with the amp for a week, im experiencing cracking noises, more noticible when touching the big putput valve. Ive looked at the solder joints on the tibe socket they seem ok to me.

Looking at solder joints doesn't really tell you if the connection is good. The best place to start is to reflow the joints on the socket.
