I have a tube amp MC-30) that is not putting out the same power to both channels ---the left channel is fine and the right channel is aomost gone---what's the fix??? re-cap the output caps first? JD

First thing I would try is to swap the tubes between the 2 channels see if it still acts that way. If does then I'd check the voltages at the tube bases. But be careful EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGES there. If it follows the tubes when you switch them around you could have just a bad tube.

Jim Denton, I'm somewhat confused here. Maybe I'm just not understanding what your amp is. By MC-30, do you mean the McIntosh monoblocks?
