Ok so I bought 2 cheap little ART Media Tube Pre's for about 30 bucks a piece. I had read some suprising reviews about how they were actually pretty good expecially for the price. So a little curious I bought 2.
I actually use mine to warm up my vocals at my live show and the sound is actually very nice and warm.
The problem is that on of the pre's has a pretty loud hum. Will changing to a higher quality tube remove the hum?

Yea it should be under warranty still. I'll have to get my paper work on it out.
I'll just see if they can send me another one....For the price of the one that works I am really impressed with how they warm up my vocals through my PA.

Don't these use a "wall wart" power supply? Try swapping those around to see if that narrows it down. Usually power tubes can cause hum, not preamp tubes. My bet is a bad ground or a filter cap issue.
