Would you characterize running a tube rated for 12 watts plate dissipation at only 10 watts as "torture"?No I would not and don't misunderstand,you can run EL84s in your S-5000 but keep in mind that we are running the full 425vdc across the tube being we are using fixed bias with a small value cathode resistor.
When you rebuild your Sherwood,did you put a 35uf film cap off the GZ34? That makes all the difference in the world for stability,deep bass,and increased power bandwidth.
