Nice, @incredulousity. I love your spirit of adventure to get the most out of Euforia without blowing anything up.
On a related note, I posted a question in the fairly quiet Elise forum about compatibility, no answers and I'm itching to try the EL37 so I'll put it to the smart people on this FA forum, since I believe Elise and Euforia have similar design and electric specifications.
The question is about Elise's (or Euforia's) auto-bias circuitry and how that affects compatibility with non-standard tubes. Specifically, I am interested in trying Mullard EL37 which Deyan has assured me his 6L6 to 6AS7 adapters accommodate. However, reading here it states that these tubes can substitute for 6L6"as long "as your amp does not put more than 360 volts on the plate and 270 volts at 2.5 watts on the screen." I am not certain how to get this information for Elise (or Euforia) nor if it is even applicable with auto-bias and the EL37 tubes running triode-strapped in adapters. Lastly, while I plan to use the EL37 in power (output) slots, would it be safe to try them as drivers since my understanding is that auto-bias circuitry is applied to power slots, unsure if to driver slots as well.
Perhaps I am worrying too much but would love to learn regarding these questions both the principles and data to be mindful of, as well as know if others have run EL37 successfully in power / driver slots with Elise or Euforia. Thanks for any info.!
