Really like this amp and have used vintage globe, ST, & slim GT tubes. Would love to try the EML80.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098337119765190876.post-12460330552862041652022-12-15T10:12:01.884+01:002022-12-15T10:12:01.884+01:00Late, but, it's a rectifier.

Of course, this voltage can be dependent on the rectifier. <br /><br />This isn't to your comment, but: in general, tube to tube within a part number, all things the same, should sound the same. While differences technically exist (mostly with gain/slight operating point differences/balance in some applications) "rolling 12AX7s", for example, is insanity. Just enjoy the glow!
