Hey everybody, this is my first post, been lurking for a little while, excellent and informative forum!
I recently bought a heavily modded Gates Sta-level compressor (attack, release, threshold controls added). It sounds pretty good, but it occasionally makes some relatively low level pop and sometimes fizzing sounds. Otherwise it is pretty quiet. I have replaced all the tubes and get no difference in the noises, it is intermittent and rare enough that I almost feel I can use the compressor for something real, but then in a quiet section there is a "pop". I am thinking I may even have some sort of problem with my AC coming into the house, but that will have to wait till the electrician can come by...
Anyways if there is any more information I can add to try to troubleshoot this, let me know. Otherwise, suggestions? I have the schematic/manual.
thanks for the time. It appears the unit was re-capped at some point.
