Yeah I know, they are *Always* noisy, but this one is more than usual.
After it warms up for a few minutes it makes a rather large "SSSHHHHHHH" sound when you put it on standby and makes a quite large "SSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH" sound when you flip it on (off of standby). It clears upafter 3 seconds. It did not do it at all during the first few minutes. The owner says it cuts out eventually when it gets really hot - but it never did that for me (maybe we didn't have it on long enough).
I have eliminated the tubes as an issue (subbed them all out with new and same issue). It is not a loud "pop" sound either - I have had that when a standby switch is starting to go out - this ain't it.
Ideas? Anyone seen this? It would be easier if it would do it all the time instead of for a brief few seconds. At least we can recreate it. But it has to warm up for a few minutes - it does not do it at first.
Thanks in advance!
