Re: substitute SV83 ???

A SV83 is essentially an EL84 with a lower screen voltage rating. So you can use '84s in a sv83 amp, but not the other way around, unless you make modifications to lower the screen voltage. (presuming that a 15w el84 amp would likely have the screen at around 300V)

Both tubes are thought to be good sounding. There are several NOS el84s available to try and the sv83s are good sounding and also dirt cheap.
