You can use the 12SR7GT tubes, which are the glass version of the 12sr7, if you want glass tubes. I chose the 12sr7 because it is very cheap at vaccumtubes.net, in keeping with the starving student theme.
The capacitor values can stay the same. The voltage of the heaters change, but the resistor changes are all that is necessary. If you want, you can go lighter with the cathode bypass caps, you can probably cut it in half if you want.
As for creating a new thread, I might consolidate all the info into a new thread sometime in the future.

Do you think the optimal capacitor values change with this tube? The tube is a different voltage, right? Also, how did you go about choosing this tube for use with the millet? I kind of wanted to have traditional looking tubes on my first tube amp. How hard would it be to adapt another tube? |
