RE: PP300 voltage settings with solid state

65.173.134.3

Thanks for the response, Paul, but I think I was not clear with my question.
When the P300 was first introduced there was much discussion about the voltage output being significantly higher than that indicated on the display in a number of multiwave settings. A chart was posted with the corresponding settings/readings at each multiwave setting. The consensus seemed to be, for example, to lower the display readout in PS2 from 117 to about 105 to achieve a true 117v output. Not doing so produced an approximate 130v output which, in certain instances, appeared to be deleterious to tube life.
I am wondering whether there is a corresponding advantage to lowering the display setting to achieve a true 117 (or so) output instead of 130v with solid state gear. I know everything will "survive" with a 130v output, but is it recommended to lower the setting even if tube equipment is not involved?
Thanks very much for your input and quick response.
