Nick was unequivocal, so the guy I spoke to last week was mistaken.I mentioned the name of the fellow who said 35mA just so Nick could correct him (not to get him in trouble!) and Nick said he'd speak to him just for future reference. So that's all good.
Nick also said that the EL34s likely won't last as long as KT120s or KT88s in the CMII, which doesn't surprise me. The JJ lineup is all so affordable, so I might replace the EL34s with JJ KT88s anyway, at least until new KT120s are available and affordable, if ever. Also, I just bought an ST-70, which should make the EL34s sing. :-)
