VTL Tetrode/Triode


I'm just curious if any VTL amp owners (I have a MB-450) with triode/tetrode switchability have any preference for one or the other mode, depending on the type of music one is listening to.

Even though some music is a no-brainer (e.g., a Mozart piano trio sounds much better in triode mode, and a Mahler symphony sounds better in tetrode), sometimes I'm hard pressed to choose. Small-scale jazz or blues can sound good in either mode.

Any thoughts?

Agreed with Hgabert post entirely, in a way the Triode/pentode switch could be a Hi-End Equalizer for audio setups.

I had this same swith on a pair of Manley's 120Deluxe Mono amps, and after trying to just stick to one position (including the variable feedback option), I ended up using that unique future depending of the kind of music.
