I got a new 5V4GA for my JTM45 clone which currently also has a 5V4GA for the rectifier tube.
Can I just swap out the new (RCA) for the old (GE)? I understand a different rectifier tube type might change the voltage and require a bias check. But, am I OK here without re-biasing?
Thanks,
Hazy

I Really Knew That Was The Answer
I just didn't feel like pulling the chassis for once to put in a new non-preamp tube. On the other hand, I'll get a chance to see what happens to the circuit with the NOS RCAs.
Thanks...
