sounds good, Wing C EL34 paired up with a Raytheon  6CA7 from Japan , was there a Mullard factory over there? 

got a 12K resistor feeding the PI with no filter cap, don't know why, gonna leave it that way, dis-similar input caps on the power tubes, gonna leave it,  1/4th cathode bias, 3/4 fixed,

i  see an error in the output section, can anybody spot it?  10 pts EC.

Could you tell us anymore about the output stage bias CJ ?
in terms of its effect on sound mainly .
 
Interesting stuff , so you drop some extra volts on  the cathode , and the extra resistance provides some cushioning once things start clipping .
