True, but they are a big part, and to discount their effect is foolish.
Yes, different 300B amps sound different, but they still have a "300Bness" to thier sound-even PP amps.> > > Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio, one of the foremost SET designers in the world, < < <
He also sells an all WE version of the Cardinals-same cicuit, different tubes. Not to mention, 3 versions of the Mercury.There is a reason why so many people lust after 45s. Do you think all those DIYers thast use them have the same circuits?
Some people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on used cunninghams(each) for thier amps. I'm going to go out on a limb, and guess its not for the looks. Why don't they just save money and use EL-34s?
The last time I talk to george Wright, he stated that he LOVED 45s, and if there was a cheap reliable source of them, he would build amps for them.
If OPTs, resistors, Caps, wires and other parts can have an effect on the sound, tubes (including driver and rectifier) can have more.
