[QUOTE="RD/MAN, post: 13488, member: 61"] Terminator, The rear 12AT7 is a tube driver stage to the MOSFET output transistors. It doesn't work like a tradition Class A or Class AB push/pull type of tube power amp which has a separate output transformer, but it does have an affect on the overall natural compression and tone of the power section. We use and recommend the 12AT7 tube or JJECC81 in the power amp, because this type of preamp tube has more clean headroom, meaning it doesn't distort or break up as quickly as a 12AX7. You were probably hearing the 12AX7 in the power amp starting to distort, so it may have sounded a bit harsher than the 12AT7 did. The JJ's are great tubes and I would recommend a JJECC81 in the power amp if you're looking to go with JJ's in every position. I hope this answers your question. Let me know RD/MAN [/QUOTE]
