So what is it that is the most important element in giving a particular amplifier it's sound? Is it the type of amp (PP vs SE, etc), is it the type of output tube (2A3 vs 300B, etc), and how much does the driver tube or tubes effect all of this?
I just got through trying 1/2 of a 6em7 as the driver in my low voltage 845 in place of the 1/2 of a 6sn7 I had been using. I was expecting more of a difference than I heard I guess. Of course they both are triodes, and that may have something to do with it too.
I am curious what you folks finds makes the biggest difference to the sound of the amps you build or breadboard.
