Re: 7904 pre-260000 PSU crackling
I guess something to realize is that an air gap from the HV lead core to the outside of the insulation isn't enough to prevent arcing or even flash over; The dielectric strength of air is far less

Re: Faulty 2465B
It affects all channels in the same way. Hence the thought that it's maybe an issue with U500?
