I have a JTM60 that has lost volume and has high distortion. If I scope both plates of the phase inverter at the same time, shouldn't the two sine waves be opposite each other? (Correction--scope was reading at the grid resistors of the power tubes. Same result looking at the output tubes' plates.) Looking at both simultaneously, their waves are identical as far as timing, not inverted. Is this the cause of my loss of output? If so, where do I look to correct this? I've tried different 12ax7 tubes in that socket, replaced the socket recently, and checked all the resistor values (I think) and they seem dead on. Thanks in advance for any help with this. I'd love to get this amp healthy again.
