Another Comment on the 12AU7

In addition to the somewhat abstract opinion I posted below, it's worth noting that the most significant difference between the 'AU7 and other varieties is linearity. However, I'm pretty sure that the more feedback the circuit applies, the less significant an individual tube's linearity will be. This is yet another reason I wouldn't change out the 'AU7 in this amplifier. Not only will it devalue the amp, it's extremely unlikely you'll hear a difference. I do agree with others who are suggesting power supply modifications, and in particular the use of higher grade parts for filtering. Many improvements have been made to components like capacitors over the last 30-40 years.
