will old tubes not be as loud as newer ones? i am totally ignorant, but i have an amp now that is 50wpc and its much quieter than i expected, but it is so nice to listen to. very dynamic. i dont know enough about how tubes affect volume.
I think they affect volume. If your tubes are quite old and near the end of their lives, they may sound weaker and definitely less dynamic. Output tubes in my system that are testing at 50% will have muddy bass, soft highs and not a lot of headroom.
