I've built a 3x12ax7 + 1x12au7 preamp with tone control.
Lately, it start a strange behavior of having a constant low tick noise (sound like taping the input). I only notice it when there is no music playing.
If I swap the 12ax7 around, the noise goes away for a while. Then come back in a week or 2.
Where should I start looking?
Thanks

Thanks, Jon for the tip.
Sounds like 'motor boating' caused by lack of decoupling or no anti parasitic grid stoppers.
