generally noisy dc-3

[briguy1960]

Hi all,

I've got a dc-3 that is very hissy and has a lot of 120hz hum. I'm guessing caps for the 120 hum but what about the hiss?

FWIW I am comparing this my other tube amps, a 63 deluxe, 79 super reverb and a marshall jmp. or are they just kinda noisy amps?

Thanks for any feedback

Brian

DCs are noisy amps when they are idle. Both of the ones I've owned have had a background hiss that's far louder than most amps. I would not be too concerned.
