In Reply to: RE: 6L6 types won't cause catastrophic failure in an 8B BUT.... posted by Steve O on June 20, 2012 at 14:13:56
...with the El34 and SV83/6π15π tubes, the so-called Hazen Grid Mod. The Decware mod is just a 0.1µF film cap from g3 to cathode instead of a jumper wire as in most circuits. I don't know how the 8B's network compares in sonic effect, but there is a noticeable sonic benefit from the Decware mod with the SV83 (I haven't heard an EL34 with this trick yet.) So I agree it is worth staying with true EL34 pentodes in the 8B to keep this part of the circuit operating as designed.
