Do I have a "balance" problem?
Only thing to add is that there also a possibility that you have a partial hearing loss on the right side. There are on-line tests you can perform to check that out; no substitute for an audiologist but it's a start. 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
Agree w you completely, Tubegroover. Not sure what entertainer or performer means in context of the OP, so I was trying to be more precise. Whenever I heard her singing good material that was not overproduced, it makes me want to bang my head agai... 
worse entertainer or performer of all time??
The way I would classify Whitney Houston is "worst waste of talent ever" or "best voice/worst music".

Tube amp down, need guidance from the experienced
You should be good to go. The "bad" tube position cannot have a blown resistor if a tube lights up at that position. The fact that the tube from "bad" position does not light up when plugged into the "good" position shows that tube was bad. 
Service Tech in CT/MA?
Approved Audio is good. Also try Electronic Service Labs in Wethersfield. 
How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B
