Tube Change: Regulator and Rectifier

[twopedalwarrior]

Hi All

I have a bit of a unique setup and can't find a straight answer for the 300B's I have a preamp that used a 300B for a Rectifier and a 12ax7 & 300B for the regulator portion. I know its basically using a Ferrari engine in a pinto lol

Question, swaping out to lower end 300B's for the rectifier and regulator, will that effect the sound? It came with a pair of factory matched and tested PSVane WE300B replica's. Chaning the 12ax7 to a mullard f91 or others makes a lovely difference in the sound.

Thoughts on swapping out the very expensive 300b's would be nice please

Start a question like yours with a correct schematic, please.

Stabbing in the dark can get somebody hurt.

Well designed power supply or regulator does not affect sound. If it does, it has some flaws.

Thank you, that is what I suspected. Time to pick up alternative 300b's so I don't waste these beauties
