Hi Jeapel, these operating points sound good. I paralelled the 6sn7's....not good....paralleled the 6as7's....not good. 6SN7 with 5mA driving the 6as7 doesn't sound good. However with an extra stage, 6dj8 at 10ma, the amp sounds good...at least better than my other humble amps. Great bass.
I am no EE. I design by ear...sometimes it's tricky...but i don't follow many rules. Having said this it is also true that i will try other tubes, other operating points and other driver stages. Such is this hobby...you are rarely satisfied.
