You are correct in that the mod was the standard typical mod. I only comment on what I've experienced so I can't argue that what you say is wrong. Where a new experience supersedes a previously held belief then I have no problems reporting that. A good example is the difference of opinion we once had regarding bias. I have not changed my mind per sae but have since experienced that under SOME conditions lower idle current can be beneficial eg, in the driver stage of an SE amp.This is something that I observed to sound better and because it was at odds with almost all of my other experiences I investigated in pursuit of a plausible reason ... hence the primary reason for this whole thread. BTW, I still believe that higher idle current sounds and measures better in most situations.
sser2 did make the comment that triodes are euphonic, and that, I most definitely don't agree with. Done right they are very natural and provide a real sense of space that I have not heard from other tubes ... not that I'm saying it can't happen. I'll try optimising the G2 supply one day and report back with my impressions and with measurements. I wonder if it might happen to work well as a driver, ala lower bias on a triode?
