Pultec MEQ-5 relative output level = -3.5dB even in bypass?

Can this be right?

It's just been pointed out to us that our Pultec MEQ-5 drops the signal level by almost 4 dB, which we've confirmed in our lab with a signal generator / analyser.

After changing ALL the valves the relative o/p level is now -3.5dB but I don't know if this particular unit is supposed to be "zero in, zero out" or if this signal drop is normal.

Drum head choice for jazz

I purchased a USA maple ludwig set 1990's with 12 and 13 inch toms, 16" floor, 22x16 bass drum, 14X5 maple snare.

I want to use them for session drummers.

What heads would be good for recording jazz?

Also any recommendations for cymbals would be helpful. Most guys I am told carry their own and may have different cymbals for recording.

Thanks
