Like others here, I have also used an EL84 driving a 300B, a typical Thorsten's Legacy implementation. This driver replaced a standard 6SN7 driver (two triodes cascaded - DC coupled).Way better sound with the pentode: faster, more accurate, better resolution, clearer overall especially in the highs. No screen grid voltage regulation, just Thorsten's "passive shunt regulation", exactly as in the Legacy schematic.
