OT: Thorsten, 2A3s, 45s and 300Bs.
Posted by RC Daniel on July 14, 2012 at 18:04:06:
IIRC, Thorsten was disappointed with 2A3 sound in general, much preferring the 45. He tried the 2A3 at 45 operating points and preferred the result, though the Sovteks were still not up to the same general quality level as his preferred 45s. No surprise there.
Although I don't always agree with Thorsten's subjective preferences, I greatly appreciate Thorsten's technical contributions and subjective descriptions over the years. His experimentation with 300B operating points (like running type 45-like I/V bias ratios), increasing loads and decreasing dissipation were most informative.
I find it curious that some folks "don't like 300Bs", yet have not tried the lower current (and dissipation) and higher load configuration and/or the more 'modern' sounding 300B tubes.
Back on topic.
Cheers.
