I tend to agree with the potential of hearing loss. When is the last time you had your hearing checked. Could be as simple as that. If that isn't the case them change out our tubes. Having a digital system, I have not had to face the tube issue. That just might be one argument in favor of electronic components. Just out of curiosity, can tubes create the brisk highs electronic systems can produce. I do think tubes create a warmer sound, but do you sacrifice hearing the highs?
Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image?
I have an all analog tube vinyl system and don’t remember having to adjust my balance setting in order to achieve a center vocal image. I do now though. I’m getting a left leaning vocal image with the balance set to zero. Is there a good way to see if this can be fixed so I don’t need to balance adjust to achieve a center vocal image? Could it be a preamp tube going out? Something else? Any harm in just continuing to adjust the balance - meaning am I experiencing any signal loss doing so?
Thanks! Paul
