It seems to me that the volume from one of my channels is slightly decreased as has the "weight" of the sound in that channel. I've noticed this after a few listening sessions this week. Could this be the result of a tube failing? I am not hearing any "noise" and the resolution is fine from said channel.
I have a Modwright swl 9.0 signature preamp, purchased last March, which is my first foray into tube equipment. So far, I love it! I am using a Mullard as a rectifier tube and a pair of Sylvania gb 5687 in the output which are the tubes that I settled on after some rolling. They were supposedly nos when I picked them up last Apil or May. I would estimate that I've put maybe 1500-2000 hours on them.
I know that swapping the tubes from channel to channel would be a way to test, but that's a bit of a hassle, so...
any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
