So, what voltage does your JTM-45 (or clone thereof) put on the plates?

My reissue reads about 403, which I've always been happy about, since I assumed this was easier on the tubes an also meant my amp might be a bit quieter volumewise. Is this a correct assumption? What do you guys think?
Q: Can you turn your amp down so I can put you in the PA?

A: No.

My Metro clone runs about the same, around 402VDC. I doubt it's significantly quieter but might be a bit more compressed than a JTM45 running at 450VDC.
