I am running a Modified Jolida 302B
With Tung Sol EL34B power tubes
Roughly 2 months ago I heard a loud pop through my speakers. I didn't see the tube blow but when I checked it, it was blown. I ordered 2 pairs of new power tubes for my amp. I only replaced the side that needed replacing with 2 new power tubes and left the left side alone (just rebiased).
I have been noticing that I have been getting more volume out of the right side than the left, and the bass is greatly amplified compared to the left side.
1. Could this be caused by the new tubes on the right channel and the older tubes on the left channel?
2. Should I replace the old tubes in the left channel with the new power tubes I have and rebias again?
3. Would this have something to do with the 12AT7's or the 12AX7's? I'm guessing not but I thought I'd ask and make sure.
I also notice with the balance at dead center that the soundstage is just to the right.
4. Should I just use the L&R balance, stop being picky and listen to the music?
Any input would be much appriciated.
Thanks, Kelly
