...do you know why the 8B cathode/g3 circuit is the way it is? I know I don't know for sure. I believe it's irresponsible to recommend what amounts to circuit changes to the amp w/o knowing this and the potential consequences of the changes. Just swapping out tubes and hoping for the best is insufficient IMO, esp when it's someone else's amp.
Understand that I'm not criticizing the sound of the rolled 8B or the tastes of those who do it. Rather, I'm criticizing those who unwittingly recommend making changes to an amp's circuit with no understanding of what they're changing (or even that they're making a change in the first place) and the possible consequences of those changes.
