Well, I will stick with the 6V6 because whatever it's defeciencies they are very easiliy available. No I am not going to get into the audiofoolery thing:"Mine's a yellow print Mullard, so it must be the best".
What re-adjustment of the bias might get the best out of that output valve?
Then with the change of pre-amp valve this creature is going to have some balls.
Still, I can't see myself walking down the street with the chassis on one shoulder & the speaker on the other.
The simple reason being i'd need one of those minature generators in a rucksack and my sciatica would most definitely protest.
