RE: 12AU7 Reviled

Reduced gain could have a few negative consequences. The most significant might be increasing distortion from a preamp that's required to use a larger portion of its voltage envelope. Regarding the 12AU7 driver board, a 12AY7 or 12AV7 in the first position would improve the situation. Plate and cathode resistors would need to be changed, but it's not a difficult job.
