One of the things I have wondered is the tubes are biased at 60 mAs and taking to tube techs they feel its running at the edge even for a really well built Mullard .Also looking at Mullards spec sheet it seems to confirm the techs views.

Thank you for your time,

Hi Ken,

Shindo is running the CC34's in Class A, within the context of his unique circuit design, so 60ma isn't too extreme at all.
