Hi all
I have a Pioneer SX410 and completely enjoy it. I just find the following curious and want to investigate and replace if needed.
As I understand it uses the ECL82 or also called 6BM8 tubes for the output stage. Correct me if I am wrong.
Must all 4 have the same glow from the top part of the filament that can be seen through the glass tube?
3 are glowing the same brightness but one is a little less orange glow. Will this be a problem if there is no problem with the sound and the sound balance is center?
