Interesting, thanks for the input guess I was wrong.
In terms of how tube specifications change sound, I know voltage drop can change the sound. Gz34 having the lowest drop, and something like a 5y3 having a lot of drop. Low drop tends to have a more solid grasp on the sound, tighter, higher drops tend to be more soft and loose. At least in my experience.

What's your take on filament current? Is going from a 2amp -> 3amp -> 3.7amp going to have any effect on the audio, or is that all due to the voltage drop characteristic?
