I love my Vandies.

I've run Vandersteens since 1992, starting with a pair of 1Bs.

But, then I love all of my speakers...............

Anyhow,

I started this project to have some high efficiency speaks for my Roberts tube amps. However, in the process, one of those has developed a nasty noise issue.............

I'm not sure, as I posses no test equipment beyond my DMM, but, I think it might be the output transformer. It starts "crackling", independent of volume setting, after it's on for about 5 minutes or so. The Akai troubleshooting manual suggests it's either the transformer, or a couple resistors. And both resistors check good.
