I own the last run of AES Six Pacs. The choke is moved from the center to the side, and a pair of small smoothing caps are added to the power supply. After that the Hexfreds, Jupiter Copper foil caps,and silver wire (take your pick). I run them at 210-220, if I'm pushing the amps. I go to 240-50 for late night listening, and low volume, kind of a winter time setting. But when I blast (hard with Six Pacs) 210-20 mA
EH valves are close to Ruby in SQ, and a LOT more dynamic, than a Golden Lyon, by far. Because I don't use valve amps for bass duty, I prefer a better Mid Bass, Dynamic (almost bloated) mids and silky smooth highs. EH GREENs are a great valve. Still not quite as freakishly GREAT as Ruby Valves and Cary products. I don't know why.. But for some reason they outperform all of the EL34 stuff.
In their, V12s V12i and V12R, ALL just sound better with, Ruby, or EH, valves. Really not the most expensive valves out there. PSVANE That's next on the list of try outs and power valves, $$$$ though. Sure make a good signal valve, 12AX7, 12AU7.
