Jfrech I have it set on 56db gain I also run the RUBY at 100 ohms, I know thats a little lower than others recommend but thats what my ears like. Back to the tubes yes they are original probably w/ 1000 to 1200 hrs. Tubes are next on my list of upgrades and was just wondering if this is a characteristic of tubes when they get a few hrs on them. Buy the way Jfrech what did you retube the p10se with. David
To retube or not to retube?
I have a BAT vkp-5 / VPI TNT JR W/ BENZ Ruby H, I have noticed about the last month that the left side is a little lower in output into the pre amp. I know I could change the right/ left tonearm cable to the cartridge which would really tell me if it in the cartridge. What keeps me from doing this is I dont have the best eyesight and hands are very rough. I have allready broke one tonearm cable.
Thats why I am asking this question am seeking imput on if the vkp-5 needs new tubes, is this a sign it should be retubed. Seeking knowledge before I start to experiment.
The other source`s are fine on balance tuner/ cd. David
