I just got my LIO (with XLR inputs!) and it's sounding great. I often sit off center (for reasons of dog on couch) and adjusting the balance is very convenient.
However, I have the Tube/AVC for the volume control, and I'm wondering if adjusting the balance applies different current to the tubes so that one will wear out before the other if I adjust it off center with some regularity. Or is the adjustment elsewhere in the circuit and the tubes remain equally loaded (so to speak).
Thanks!
