Nope, but I get a distinct vibe from "someone" when they explain it "their way"; it's like NO ONE ELSE knows how to correctly align a radio anymore. I better PAY-ATTENTION, TAP TAP TAP... & GO TO Mine-Tune, I typed "mine" for a reason..

Rabbi, I know why people think you are Mark; because you "shill" for him all the time. (undeniably)
I don't see Fine-Tune doing any tube gear.. (what's referenced in the original post..)

Anyway, to get this thread on track..
What about a "worn-out" or "failing" tube can make you sound like Donald the Duck?
Sorry, it just pre-dates my era. If the tube tests good, and has not gone "microphonic"; is it reduced gain that causes issues, some how distortion increases I'm thinking, but unsure about the technology.
