Yeah, the top cap plate connection puts the type squarely in the enthusiast's column. Given current product liability law, they could never go into a commercial amp.

That reduced bias and increased sensitivity can be a blessing. Add the EL38 to the list of types an "El Cheapo" style 12AT7 based splitter/driver works with, minus a line stage that has gain.
