No I mean more like an electrical discharging or shorting kind of pop.You mean popping acoustically, from the tube?
The tubes that started popping were eight years old. They sounded great for many years. I replaced them and the popping sound went away. I was just wondering if the popping sound was evidence of arcing?Oh ok you did try other tubes first. Sounded like you just tossed them and were waiting for replacements.
