Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing?


My new (to me) Almarro integrated does not have a balance control but my room is slightly asymmetrical. I'm playing a little w speaker toe-in to try to correct this, but I just had another idea. Bias spec is 0.20 volts, with 0.18 volts suggested as a minimum which will reduce output slightly but provide more tube life. It seems to me that if I bias the output tube slightly lower on the "louder" side, it might shift the balance slightly toward the side that is biased higher. Does that make any sense???

You can buy attenuating plugs that are put in between the interconnect and preamp to change the volume of one channel.

Google "RCA attenuating plug".
Don c55- I had not thought of that. I do have 10 dB Rothwell attenuators. I'll try that but I believe the difference is not that great.
Someone also recommended Scott Endler's attenuators when I posted a question about a DIY balance control in a thread on Audio Circle. Just need one on the channel that is to loud for proper balance. Waiting to hear back on how small the dB reduction steps can be on the Endler attenuators.
Or you could use an outboard digital EQ ie an Ultracurve and use it as a balance control. I have hearing loss in my left ear, and though I still cannot achieve an absolutely perfect center image like before, it is close with this set up. I have found that the Ultracurve is 100% transparent and quiet in my system.
