Mikko	Re: Yes, screen resistor values affect sound Guys, I'm waiting a hammond 378cx pt which I ordered from Angela Instruments. Now I find myself thinking that can I use it with 6L6GC's/kt66's? I mean that using this PT in a trad marshall style circuit there is gonna be around 540V right after the choke going to screens. How 6L6's are taking these higher voltages, and how about in ul and/or triode mode too? My plan was to use a 378cx, four 6L6GC's and take 100w out of 1650N. Perhaps it would be better (safer?) use here two kt88's instead? Which combination will be "tighter" with 1650N - quad of 6L6's or a pair of kt88's? Mikko
