[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 2191175, member: 555251"] This is turning out to be a real PITA...probably won't get a lot of help here, but w/e. Because I'm sitting so close to pretty high efficiency speakers, any sort of noise or sonic grunge is going to find its way into the final sound...and my Rogue Audio 66 does impart a little bit of "grunge" in the form of a hiss. Cleaned the tube pins, lifted the grounds, still does it - it's definitely not a grounding issue.
