thank you!

i think heater current is no problem at all. the ATLAS Magnum can handle KT120 also. i feel uncertain about the bias for the EL156. rogue recommends only 35 mA for each KT-type (88...120!) and the amp sounds best with that moderate bias. so i would try also 35 mA with EL156 first and then perhaps rise up to 40 or 45 mA and listen what happens...
