    Hartke LH500 sound issues at startup

    Replaced the Tube today, first bit of service the amp has had for 16 years. Sounds like it has smoother tone and more power. Looking forward to using it in anger at next gig in 2 weeks time. Hopefully no repeat of the volume issues.

    What I would be interested to know is what the symptoms are of a failing Tube.

    Yes, get the relay click, and as previously stated, I am unable to replicate the issue now I'm back home. However I am going to get the Speakon cables checked.

    Hartke LH500 sound issues at startup

    As I said, I have had this amp for many years, so this was an unusual event at the weekend, I am aware of the usual start up time's and volumes, I have new cabs with new speaker cable's, so am wondering if the speakon connection is not all it should be.

    Pretty new jack to speakon cable's, but don't have a cable checker... Have ordered a Tube anyway, only £22, so can always be a spare if it doesn't play up again. Thanks for advice, I won't mess with it

    Thanks for this, trying to replicate the issue without success at the moment, have had the top off and made sure all contacts are secure, should I have this issue again and linking the effects loop cures it, what is it telling me. Thanks

    Hartke LH500 sound issues at startup

    Had a charity gig at the weekend with a couple of other guy's using my gear, at turn on the volume appeared to be poor, or non existing for 30 seconds or so. Eventually volume came up and performed as expected. Could this be a tube issue, I have never replaced is since new.....2010. Thanks
