DRe: Plate voltage on BFD
I've often wondered about swapping recifiers, but I thought I read somewhere that 5y3's and 5v4's wouldn't stand up to what amps designed around a 5AR4 or 5U4 could dish out.  
My DR is my main gigging amp, it gets used most weekends, and driven pretty hard.  
What's the consensus around here?
