Neil…
I just put a Raytheon od3a in my Torii MKIV 25th to try for the 1st time. I have been running the stock oc3 since I’ve had the amp. The sound is definitely different…softer, lush, and more laid back. Yes you do lose a bit of the bottom end, and it doesn’t have that crisp detail by comparison. But…it’s actually a nice change up, and quite enjoyable. I’m listening to some Spanish guitar music (Paco DeLucia and Jesse Cook) and it serves this type of music quite well.
I’ll have to report back as it settles in. Do I foresee keeping this tube type in long term, I don’t think so, but I would experiment…these tubes are cheap enough that it won’t break the bank….$28 bucks a pair delivered.
As you know…there is a synergy with the other tubes in the amp; and there are a lot of variables to consider like your other components gear that are downstream, cables, room acoustics, personal taste, etc etc.
Hope this helps.
