Problems with my Berning ZH270


Don´t know what happen with my Berning ZH270 amp. I have Merlin VSM-M speakers and Electrocompaniet CD player. The amp is very fast and clear, but also bright, bright, bright.
I have tried Cardas Golden Reference interconnects, Nordost SPM speaker cables (and much more wires), without any improve. I have just add a LA-100 Joule preamp and things are now better, but not enough.
Tube rolling?. Another amp?. Wich amp (I would like to keep my new Joule preamp). Thank you.

Thank you. Have you tried the 12AT7 Brimar black plates or the 12AT7/CV4024 Mullard CRYO ??. Would I have a warmer sound from them?. This is my first tube amp and I just learning. Thanks again.
Hi Tubegroover. My room is 5 meters long, 4mt wide and 3mt high. I didn´t has problems with my older systems. A friend of mine is going to bring home his ZH270 to compare to mine, so I will no if there is anything wrong with mine. If I can´t resolve this problem I would go back to solid state, keeping the Joule as pre. After trying for so long is sad, I really hope my ZH270 can go well. My speakers are placed more than 1mt away from the back and side walls. I have a big carpet and I have used the alignement tool provided by Merlin. Thank you very much.

Hi and thanks. I am comparing with my old Gryphon Callisto integrated amplifier. It sounded softer but, incredebly, the ZH270 has better low control.
Hi. I don´t live in USA, but I bought my Berning from Allan, brand new. Yesterday I change my NOS Telefunken and it seems that the sound go better. I change the tubes inmediately after receiving the amp, I have not listen to music more than few hour with the original tubes. My fault.
Thank you very much for the help I have received from everyone.
