Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature
Two issues come into play: 1. My preamp uses four 6H30 tubes (and two tubes which I assume are rectifiers). It’s very hard to acquire GOOD 6h30 tubes these days so, until Western Electric can clone 6H30-DR (Russian mil-spec and the best I’ve heard...

Better hearing
Yes, cannibals have excellent hearing (so I've been told).  
Better hearing
Low fat diet, NO ALCOHOL, no tobacco, wear hear protection when grass mowing and weed whacking, reasonable listening level, better speakers, etc. BTW, in "unproved" a play on word or a fat finger for "improved"?

Well built, aesthetically pleasing wooden cabinets
My B/W 804D3 are amazing, a work of art. Nice YouTube video about how 800 series is made. Nice as they are, I'm planning to upgrade to 803D4 at some point.

You may want to return the tubes and have thetubestore test and certify. If they come back good, think about returning the LS25 to seller and let them get it fixed.

Where are you located? There may be a technician close to you that can check the tubes. The alternative is to send the unit to Audio Research for a checkup (think $600 and up).
