In Reply to: Does low or high heater voltage affect sound? posted by andy evans on September 30, 2020 at 15:55:48:
Andy,
I may have missed the question you pose-
My first answer works if you are talking about higher/lower voltage by 5% or less-
However if you are talking about running an 18 volt heater with a 6.3 volt supply - the tube will most likely fail to have sufficient emission from the cathode to operate-
and if you reverse the situation - 18 volt supply into a 6.3 volt load - the heater will likely burn up very quickly-
The situation does not improve for the 2A3 vs 300B...
Happy Listening
