Dumb tube question in regards to a quartet of power tubes

[mwalluk]

Just out of curiosity, would this be possible....

In the Randall RM100, I know you can individual bias each tube so that you can run 2 6L6s and 2 EL34s at one time by having either the EL34s on the end and 6L6s in the middle or vice versa.

Now my question is this, for any quartet powered amp, are you able to run the same type of tubes (El34 or 6L6s) but have 2 different brands as long as they're matched? Say 2 matched JJ EL34s on the end and 2 matched Tungsol EL34s in the middle? Would that work?

Haha. Man, you got tubes on the brain, don't you? Does it disturb your wife that you think about tubes all day?

As long as you could get them all to bias up in a safe range and the amp in question is compatible, I dont see why it wouldnt work.

Not going lie I do....

It doesn't help that I've been constantly checking FEDEX to see the status of my tubes being delivered.

Also I'm at work, wasting company time, gotta insight something interesting
