but what about the ratio of the filament gradient to the bias voltage? 20V of a 100V bias is a lot different than the 2.5V of a 50V bias for a 45.As ivan mentioned, the tube to test this with would be the 304TL which you can configure as a 5V 25A or a 10V 12.5A tube. It is interesting to note that when wired for 10V operation two of the plate will cheery up before the other two, and when wired for 5V operation they all cherry up at the same time.
I actually think it would be kinda cool if listening experience showed the 10V connection of the eimac to sound better :-)
