Depending on the time of day, your amp can/will sound different.
Can you elaborate, and also provide a solution to finding the "good times" and making them happen all of the time?!? Pretty please?!?!

In Audiophile Land, better sound is achieved....at.......night. During those hours, there are less people on the grid, hence less load, less clean power loss.
A dedicated line to the room good internal wiring (if you own your home)with hospital grade plugs is what you need for 24/7 happiness.
Depending on which Equitech(I have one on my TV and Xbox), a dedicated line could be cheaper option with good plugs(not the garbage from big box stores). P.S. Audio makes great products and used to make balanced regenerator's that beat Equitech. Garbage in, garbage out.
My issue isn't with noise
My issue isn't with noise (well maybe it is and I don't realize it) but my amp can get "grainy" and "harsh" depending on __________________.
I haven't discovered it to be a specific time, place etc... It sounded GREAT at our last practice, grainy early on at our last show, then GREAT at the very end of the show. There appear to be frequencies (I've identified these frequencies in every Marshall or Marshall based amp I've ever played) that are sensitive to something. I'm not sure what they're sensitive to, but I wish I could eliminate it!
I will liken it to when it sounds harsh, I need to roll my tone knob down to 4 to eliminate the harshness of those frequencies. When it sounds great, I can roll the tone up to 10 and the amp sounds way clearer and doesn't have those frequencies spiking. The amp sounds very similar in both scenarios, only it sounds clear in the second scenario.
Yes. Depending upon your locale, the tolerance is somewhere around +/-7VAC so you can have a 14V swing and it still be acceptable. And since the standard is between 110V and 120V, the potential swing is HUGE (103V to 127V). Tube amps hate inconsistency and you're hearing how badly they compensate. The solution: regulation.Sounds like dirty power. You need a conditioner as part of your set-up. I'll send you some options.
I have a stash of CCa's from my 12AX7/EL84 tube amp days which I am never parting with so don't ask. I do recommend the 12AX7LPS -- it's worth trying for the price.I'm still hunting for a good set of NOS 12AX7s that will be worthy of the amp.
I hate when that happens. Now where IS that stash of CCa's...lso, I have misplaced the preamp tubes that I ordered, so now I have to order more!!!

The gold eagle was the Anniversary "badge" and the first HX/DAs were modded Anniversary models, so you have an early model. Do you have smooth rotation master pot or the detented rotary attenuator?
My SuperD is dated 11-06 and is a CAD creation, so there were a lot of great things coming out of the amp department that year.
