I was starving the filaments on my 6b4gs and hated the way they sounded.
I wasn't starving them by much, maybe 5.8 volts. When I readjusted the supply to 6.3 they came to life.
Maybe I wasn't starving them enough?

"hated the way they sounded", this doesn't "sound" like Tre'.
Although I don't doubt it, what would have been interesting is the measurements in both cases. You've reported before that after a known measurable improvement, you at first were not impressed or disappointed in the sound, but then after time realized it was more true to the recording
and ended up preferring the change. From AC to DC filaments I think was one.
I certainly don't know what amount if any, would be appropriate starvation, but I think the subject is interesting because of what at least one guy, Bench, measured. Usually, the "way" we (you and me, not everybody) listen, a measurable improvement is also a sonic one, even though some take time to get unaddicted to the previous "sweet distortion".

I agree. It's very interesting and worth investigating.

Well said.
