RE: Triode VS Ultralinear with EL34 vs 6CA7

This is a two part question. All tubes sound different and you may or may not like the sound of others. Generally speaking if you find the tubes that sound best for Ultralinear, that will carry over to Triode mode.

Triode mode with zero global NFB sounds better to my ears, more inviting with greater depth. Power is reduced but its never bothered me, partly because I've found Triode mode to handle music better at lower volume than Ultralinear but also because a 2-3db differential is not much to our ears.

If you post a Schematic on Tube DIY, we can help you, assuming you have some experience.
