2 Tubes in processor should both glow the same


I have a tube processor and one of the two tubes is dimmer than the other. I have rotated the tube to the other socket, same thing. One is always dimmer than the other. Is this normal or abnormal? I played a test CD to check the channel balance and it seemed ok. I'm new to tubes but logically I would think both tubes should be of the same intensity.
