Geeky tube stuff - expect BS engineer talk within

sounds awesome on paper.

BUT, how closely will that still sound like the standard OP setup.

IMO, the holy grail would be to lose the OP xformer and still keep the same sound, but all the stuff wrong with the std op is part of why it sounds like it does, so idk.

you can do slick shit to the power supply like magnetic or switching etc and not notice if the right power is there for the circuit, but that has zilch to do with the signal.
