btw: After you're well acquainted with the amp's presentation, listening to your favorite/most familiar, albums; get one of these and place it atop the power transformer. Let me know your reaction, if you do. I think you'll be surprised and delighted at the improvements it will make. https://elusivedisc.com/vpi-magic-brick/ The old ones are prettier: https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=VPI+Magic+Bricks:
DC meter on power amp
My 300B power amp has two DC (mA) meters. I know a VU meter moves along with the music, but this DC meters doesn’t. I realized one has a lower reading caused by the 300B power tube, 0.64 mA and 0.72mA. I switched left and right, and the lower reading follows. I tried another pair of tubes and the readings are matched. Does it mean the lower reading tube needs to be replaced? What is the effect of one reading is lower? I bought them used, and they are tested with no leak and shorts, and they are pretty closed in terms of percentage life left. Would this mismatched in DC reading reflect in a tube tester?
Thank you very much in advance.
