"Gain is gain; but, the the sound can be different even though the gain is the same."Yes.
"I never said you need more gain. I said there is more to it, meaning the sound of the amplifier, than simply the gain of what's in front of the 2A3."
Again, yes.
"Not sure what axe you have to grind here??"
Sorry, I thought you were going somewhere else.
"Heck, if you think about it, people "prefer" different 6SN7s- their gain is the same, no?"
I agree.
Please remember that my first post was a response to Eli's comment that "A single high mu, high plate resistance tube will work IF a SS source follower buffer is added" (paraphrased) and I was just trying to point out that if a low mu, low plate resistance tube is used then the SS source follower isn't needed and that the extra gain also isn't needed.
Maybe that wasn't clear.
