Grab the Purist Audio Burn In Disc if you can. run for 8 hrs, music for 8 hrs. then burn in for another 8. May tame the high end.

But I live in a one room (albeit a large one) efficiency apartment above Nephew No. 4's detached double garage. So, my listening room, living room, home office and bedroom are all one in the same room.
The sound out of the box was certainly good, just tilted a bit toward the top, and bottom for that matter (excellent bass).
I can certainly live with it as it stands now.
Thanks for the suggestion any way.

That sounds a lot like my NAD gear. Lottsa top and bottom end. Not much in the ever important upper bass lower midrange.

But yes, the lower mids could flesh out a bit. That's where using something like the JJ 6922s either in the phono section or line stage could really help.

Contact Jim McShane. Maybe he can point you in a better tube direction?
I have a Genalex 6922 on order for my Conrad Johnson.
With the stock setup, I don't believe any tubes other than the NOS Russian 6n23p-ev or the current production EH6922 can withstand the load the M3 puts on the tubes. Most others fail in relatively short order. Jim says the EH is the only one he recommends for AI preamps. There is a modification for the M3 which facilitates tube rolling, but I'm trying to live with the original AI setup.

I have an M3 - not A or B, and have been using EH tubes for the entire 20 years that I have owned the unit - two sets of tubes-
I have not noticed this 'Consumption' of tubes-
A note regarding the second out put- referenced in the OP-
This was originally intended to drive a subwoofer - hence the 270Ohm Resistor-
The tape section is quite good - using Violet series SS bits-
Happy Listening
My first M3, purchased from Galen in the mid 1990s, did fine with the stock tubes. After a few years, I tried some JJ 6922s. They lasted about 8 months.
