I was staring at my amp last night and wondered if it was an optical illusion. It wasn't, as the stick shows lol  :o

This is not something I would worry about. The RCA handbook states that the maximum seated height should be 4.75 inches.
there are tolerances but they are provided for fitment only. If you look at the tube on the right you can see the glass envelope is not sitting down as low as the left. As long as your voltage and resistance checked fine try to ignore it, you will someday and just enjoy the dulcet tones you here.

Who said I was worried? It was a little joke :)
