Re: Actually there's been a lot of debate on this subject ...

I am thinking of the more relaxed vs
strained sound some declare at lower OPs.
I was thinking that may be the reason that I
prefer the KT88 over other tubes in my SE amp.
At 22W, the KT88 is just cruising while
the KT77/EL34/KT66 are near maxing out.
Since I seem to prefer that sound
and my next amp will be a 300B,
trying to bring what I know and
applying it to my next project.
So I guess I am asking what strains
the tube sonically more -
Dissipation or Voltage or Low Z OPT ?
How about a 300B at 450V/60mA/5K OPT?
To be specific.
