Possible, I never was a big fun of 6E5P without Milq type of bias. I remember what when I did the simple fixed bias when a few year back I was trying to make Milq to sound “contestable” with ML2 it was racy and jumpy sound but nothing special. I feel...

BTW, how stable 6E5P is? I'm asking as I was contemplating biasing the output by the voltage drop on 6E5P's plate choke (DCR is say around 1k),with only some minimal autobias on the output. The drawback is that any drift in the driverwill rebias the ...
