My MM phono tends to sound a bit distorted and somehow a bit decraised in gain lever. Is it possible that I have to change the tubes cause I bought it second hand and don't know the age of the tubes. I own this amp for 4 ys, now.
Tubes that are used:
2 Philips Miniwatt ECC83
1 EH 12BH7AEH Goldpin
2 Watford Valves Cryo ECC83S
1 Valvo 85A2 OG3
Maybe some pins are black/detoriated so bad contact
Thank you for your insights
Maybe you can try your linestage valves in the phono section and see if the problem is still there?
