Balance on Tube Amp


Recently purchased Tube Amp and with my hearing left side could use more volume and my living room will not allow me to keep speaker out approx 8 inches out from wall ...

What would be the best Quality way to make this adjustment on Amp with No Adjustment ???

There aren’t many integrateds with volume balance capability. I have this issue and was going crazy with all the vocals shifted left, solved with the PSAudio Stellar, then decided to get tube/SS hybrid and finally found Mac MA352.  That Schitt box might have widened my horizons had I known about it but that’s ok. If you get your hearing checked you might be surprised. A balance issue can be a hidden problem, especially if you are one of those who is always straightening pictures on your wall.

I want to thank all Of You and Wish Every One A Merry Christmas..      Since I just purchased the Raven Audio Reflection from previous Osprey Amp this has widened the sound stage and much more detail is coming out of speakers than ever before....But this also makes me want to hear as much as possible..So I have Tinnitus really bad 50 years but I am still blessed at what I do hear and noticed left speaker was not as full sounding as right channel and moved left in 8 inches and OMG the difference and that is what made me think how can I adjust the balance to get that full sound stage...I may try Shiit SYS....

When you swap tubes between the left and right channels, doe the balance change? If yes, you may want to go for matched tubes in the future. 

I will try that today just to make sure they are matched tubes.

The tubes were suppose to be matched for they all have markings

of were to place them...Will not hurt to try rolling them..

Thank You ..I really love this Reflection Amp..

The Chase Unit is a far better choice, even if just using the REMOTE BALANCE,

small risk, likely work together, total $85.

this one, broken, comes with a needed remote

CHASE RLC-1, to get the remote needed for a unit without a remote $30.

get the non-working unit to have a case in good condition  

Powers On, needs remote $55.

or

New in Box, asking $210, make offer
