    New Vinyl...

    Im sure this has been beaten to death but I guess my search skills are poor. Point me in the right direction if so...My brand new Satch album Shockwave Supernova has a lot of pops and clicks. Compared to my old copy of JT's greatest hits which is almost dead silent between tracks its really...

    "New Mullard" TechTube E813CC (12AX7) ...
