I would imagine if the voltage isn't dropping to the point of not being able to properly operate the tube and/or cleanly drive the headphones, then it should be fine.
Just as a joke (since I wouldn't waist the time to ever go back to the 6Z4) you could install a DPDT switch on the back panel allowing switching back and forth between the 6Z4 and 6X4.

I was actually thinking last night how easy it would be to do this mod and forget this fact. |
