In Reply to: two questions about 45 and 300b..............thanks posted by bouncy ball on April 3, 2014 at 08:52:21:
1) 45, 2A3, 300B, 845 - they can all sound very similar if operated at the right conditions. The normal conditions commonly used are not similar in the right (nondimensionalized) sense, which IMHO is responsible for a large part of the popularly perceived differences.
2) You can easily get 5mV hum out of a 300B into 8 ohms, using AC filament power. If you really work hard on the problem, you might get as low as half that but it's probably not worth the agony. A 2.5v 300B ("2A3-40") would give half the hum much more easily. Otherwise DC is the answer, and as in 1) works fine if done right.
In both cases, "done right" is not a simple concept and we are collectively still discovering what exactly that means.
