GM70 was mostly used with AC heating in PP amps where filament hum cancels out.DC filaments sound wrong not because of principle, but because of implementation. Diode bridge plus capacitor, or voltage regulator are not the right way to do it. The right way is dedicated filament transformer, choke input filter, and CM choke to block line contamination by audio signal. It could be 40 pounds of iron per one GM70 filament, but it sounds good.
