RE: Fisher 800-C questions (newbie)

Look at the pic I linked to. It's no problem at all using EH tubes in an 800C.

"Wow, there's some strong dissenting option to the idea of testing out the Electro-Harmonix tubes (BRIEFLY) in order to decide whether to go through with the rest of the modifications."

How are you going to tell what the amp sounds like unless you let it run long enough to be fully warmed? If you do that, there is a chance that a tube or tubes could act up.

There's no one who has posted that what I described can't occur, they likely just didn't think to mention it. I did think of it because I have to be sure to caution anyone who buys 7591A EHs from me that it can occur, so it comes to mind automatically so to speak...

It's up to you if you want to take a chance. But since you'll need to make the change no matter what, why don't you make the changes before the tube swap? The parts you need are under $10.00 (at least from me), and it's not a huge task.
