"Lowering the grid resistance has never been a problem that I'm aware of... the stock value is actually a little high (220K), and lowering it is generally considered a good thing both functionally and tonally. "
 
 
 
 
I've never had a problem in any way, shape and or form doing this. I've never heard of any problems or potential problems. The amps are always stable.  
 
 
 
q{MOF many heads came from the factory with 100K or 82K in that spot.  
 
 
 
I just had two amps this week (one was a 4-input and one was a JMP 2203) and they both had the 82K's in there from the factory. The amps sounded pretty darn good actually. Great lower midrange punch.  
 
 
 
Andy, are we talking about the same things here?

I run my own personal amp with 100K's there. You're thinking of people raisng tha value there I think, in which case you're corredct that you should not go up, unless you move to cathode bias.
