Wow, new to audio.....you jumped in with both feet. Good knowledge of tubes...
I have tried just used one amp at a time but still bright...oh, I just purchased a paired of psvane ct181 to replace 6922 to golden tube...but still no luck...have probably 50 hrs...is very nice on everything except the bright
I have a big glass table top behind my where I sat about a feet away...could that cause the issueissue
Definitely could be. Throw a blanket over it and see / hear what happens. If it's that close it's likely part of your problem.
