Tube Replacement Problem - Audio Research SP9 MKiii- V1 Tube Goes Dark w/ new V2 installed
Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions??
I’ve tried replacing the original Sovtek 6922 V2 position tube with a vintage NOS 6DJ8/6922 Amperex SQ circa 1969, but the original V1 position phono tube goes dark and I get no sound from my turntable. The new tube in V2 position works fine and sounds terrific despite the no phono with the darkened Sovtek in V1.
However, when I go back to the original 6922s in V1 and V2 position everything works fine and tubes light as normal. Do the new tubes need to replaced as a matched pair or is there anything else that I should know about replacing a single tube?
The unit is a factory SP9 MKIII.
