RE: thorough back story

The only problem I have with the vintage non GT variants of the 6V6 is the reliability issues I've had in amps that specifically call for a 6V6GT. The datasheets and some people I've spoken to have said...no...I probably don't want to try running a non GT variant in these amplifiers due to the fact the plates are 90V higher than datasheet maxes.

I pretty much just stick with GT variants.
