I would imagine there's a hi-fi company happy to sell you a 'thermionic valve balancer' to solve the problem though. Or for the true audiophile, we have this this upmarket version which will monotonically reduce distortion and optimise speaker cone motion, only double the price. And perhaps some of this premium, oxygen-free, cryogenically pre-treated audio quality tape to replace that yellow stuff you have wrapped around the connectors sir?
