I've done it. And I've done it through a SE-PP IT to a 45 PP amp. Other alternatives are several. Try 7119, the most smooth, natural and neutral tube i know. might be a little boring to some. ECC99 is nice but goes through some rough sounding spots when wearing in. 7119 is a special tube to me. So silky smooth, so non-euphonic, so listenable. But can be a bit dull in the wrong amp.

There are some very good russian high gm triodes here to do the job, and they have harmonic richness for that special tube sound in the mids that are special. when i get money again, i want to try some. some stepping up, maybe up to 1:1.5 can be tolerated with this crowd of tubes to the 45.

I don't know about batteries anymore. So unreliable in general. one loss of contact and you practically blast out the speakers.
