I always examine the negative to achieve the positive, i.e. think what could go or be wrong first???
do you know any more history, how old those tubes might be? old enough, enough hours played to be problematic? tubes last a LLLLLOOOOOONNNNGGGG time.
very likely transformer hummed before it was put in storage. Perhaps too heavy to ship for repair, no original boxes to ship in, they are from Italy, who might fix them? Remain beautiful after local fix?
Personally, I wouldn’t mess with them, but, if you love them, if you can buy and spend some money for all new tubes, get lucky, or spend more money fixing ___?
Has anyone ever personally heard them, or another integrated Amp from that company?
