+5 for TUBES. I'm certainly not a tube amplifier expert, but with all tube products I have dealt with, "if something is not right" Check or replace the tubes FIRST. I assume your tube preamp is older than the power amp? Start with that. See if you can swap out an entire component, preamp, then power amp to isolate problem.
What does clipping sound like?
I have been wondering if the break up distortion I hear with my 60 watt tube amps is because I have insufficient power for my 91db 6 ohm minimal speakers. I do question if that rating of my speakers is correct.
When the music swells, I get break up sound. It is not on low notes or high volume. I do wonder how my speakers would perform with a lot more power. I have always thought that any speaker likes more power.
