RE: 845 replacements

My intention was to simply have spares on hand in case the graphite 845's went out of production as some manufacturers appear to be claiming the metal grid ones are superior. My suspicion is they've found they're cheaper to manufacture and would prefer to drop the graphite.
Thanks for the biasing advice . It's almost word for word the same as the blurb that came with my Icon Audio 845's. I'm not going to explore the different 'flavours' of different 845's as I'm totally in love with what I'm hearing now. I've lost track of the number of amps I've used over the decades and not one of them has given me the musical magic the Icon Audio MB 645's dish out. Thanks for the hints though. Appreciated Naz.
On a slightly different subject Eunice Kron, the owner of Kronzilla amps often claims any valve that produced a lot of light is badly designed. OK, I've heard a pair of Kronzilas and was most impressed but think she's blowing her own trumpet on this one.
