"If you haven't actually used a good 45, thinking a triode wired 46 is the "same", there's where to begin. Is there a "more" linear power triode?"
Actually, as I have posted before, in my amp and my system , the 46 sounds better than any 45 I have tried. That includes some of the best vintage and modern 45s.
I don't have a technical explanation for that, but it's what I hear. Question - is linear power output the most important factor in determining what tube has the potential to sound the "best"? Thanks for your reply.
