In Reply to: What is the "sound" of microphonic tubes? posted by Nickel Core on October 26, 2014 at 13:20:04:
To what Jim said, tubes get a bad rap for microphonics. Many times the sockets are the culprit.
An improperly secured coupling cap can not only mimic a microphonic tube but cause one heck of a feedback loop, even at low volume levels.
If one feels compelled to tap the tube, tap the chassis. Don't tap the tubes.
