Yeah, true, but I am not sure the increased B+ voltage of the GZ34 tells the whole story but it is certainly a chapter in it. Lower impedance may be the chapter heading and lower voltage drop a sub heading.

Western Electric never made any bad tubes but, having used many, not all are worth the massive premium, to me at least, based on experiments I did long ago. Many WE tube prices are beyond insane, but I know folks on the other side of those transactions and there is some huge money chasing this stuff. Few can compete.

But who knows if I'd even agree with myself 30 years later? Been through a lot of research and development and wide exposure to different things since then.
