Cathode Help

**Mousey** · Apr 1, 2007, 03:38 PM

I dunno if it's serious or what but my cathodes are flickering like crazy sometimes,
sometimes they just get a bit darker and lighter, other times they start turning off and on, they aren't voice activated so it defiantely isn't my music that's doing it,
and i've got my rig going through a surge protector so i dunno what's going on... HELP?

Buy a new inverter for them, it might be going.

If you run them constantly on or in sound activated mode... then the inverters and the tubes themselves only have something like 20,000 hours of life in them.
