I have just been looking at Watford valves descriptions of the valves they sell. Most reviews there seem to refer to use in guitar amps.
I think I know the answer to this already, but here we go:
is it possible to relate findings in guitar amp reviews to what one would experience in a "hifi" amp?
example:
"In Guitar applications, the Groove Tube EL34M has a wonderfully rounded midrange with a slightly recessed treble response. The valve has an excellent distorted sound which is rounded and smooth giving both harmonic warmth and clarity.

Sounds great for a player - not so good for reproduction?
