Hello all!

I have been noticing some channel imbalance in my crack over the past weeks. I built it about a month and a half ago. Now that I am out of the honeymoon phase with my amp I have noticed the right channel is a bit hotter than the left. Troubleshooting and narrowing down the problem I found that terminals B3 and 7 have an identical voltage reading of 105.6, terminals 9 and B6 have an identical voltage reading of 111.6. Readings for the left and right channel before this part of the circuit are almost identical. My assumption is the output tube is the issue, but my knowledge of electronics and tubes specifically is limited to the experience I have had with this wonderful product! But boy am I hungry to learn!

Thanks,
Ian
