I'm a Korean, live in seoul South Korea, and like DIY of audio amps.

I have a 300B SE power amp, which was DIYed by me past.
Recent days, I made its B+ down to 320 volts for tubes' life.
However, it causes two channels to be unbalanced.
A right channel has a triple greater output level than left.

What can I do for the balanced operation of the power amp?

Thanks..

Hi Gokhl, welcome to the forum.

I'm not clear about the channel imbalance:

Do you mean that when 1 channel is outputting 1 volt, the other is outputting 3 volts? That's a 12dB imbalance!

What was the original +B voltage?

If the amp uses manual bias, you will have to adjust this.

Cheers,
