I just finished a stereo version of a Gyraf Pultec and noticed that the tubes pick up every vibration in the room, which means that they are microphonic.
Now I know that this is normal to some extent, but I tried knocking on the front panel and saw that the loudest peaks are around -20dBu (noise floor of the unit is -80dBu)!
So my question is: how much microphonics would you consider normal for an ECC88?
