Well, I didn't know whether to tack this on to one of the existing 12B4 threads, but as they seem focused on line stages, I thought it might be threadjacking.
So, basically, as the 12B4 is getting rave reviews as a low gain single ended line stage, my question is "would it also give good results in a differential stage with a higher gain (say 20)"? I have yet to come across any schematics for such an application. I guess the problem is with its low mu, you need several to get the required gain and that seems inelegant/wasteful?

Thanks for the great link, but what does that have to do with my question?
