Random single Pop noises from new SEX

[yay]

Ye, i was going to switch out th 1.5uF aswell.
While switching them around i touched one with my soldering iron, so i would rather switch them aswell.
Good reason to splurge on some nice caps ;D

Just noticed one thing, when i turn on the amp for the first time of the day, my computer screen goes black for a second. this seems like something that might not be normal?  ;D

Yea, you need to resolder all the connections to the monitor ...John

 

[yay]

i guess it's my terrible power i got in this building, i ordered a power conditioner to see if that will help with weird stuff like this.

 

[yay]

the monitor stuff was fixed by a power conditioner!

i switched the caps and i still have the pops.. i guess switching them around was just luck for a few hours since the popping can't be anticipated.

now i switched out the caps, it was working all well (but still pops) - and today there is an added heavy channel imbalance!
i'm starting to get really frustrated with this, i have little time and nothing works or even makes things worse..

one channel barely gets amplified, and i turn the pot way up it distorts heavily


is there someone in europe who might be able to fix this for me? i'm starting to give up

A channel imbalance will usually be accompanied by voltage imbalances.

 

[yay]

I had a friend check it out for me, he resoldered and narrowed it down to the tubes - which i checked first thing, but only by swapping the same tubes around.
Turns out they are both equally bad! With a new set of tubes there turned up no popping sounds whatsoever.
