Sonar 2340 Audio Tube Swap

[Shadetree Mechanic]

I came across this video where the v12 tube is a 12AT7 and was replaced with a 12AX7. He was able to get more peak power out of the radio, but I was thinking that this would allow me to turn the MIC gain down to increase the headroom? What do you guys think?

I personally think it makes them sound fuzzy around the edges when you do that.
My sonar sounds great with an amplified d104 straight into the radio, it sounds even better with a stock one through a Demco.
( that seems to be the general consensus on how to run a sonar)

Where can i have someone test my demco power modulator? Or how can i test it?
Thanks

Klein communication is a place that works on tube equipment and takes mail ins. Several members here have used him and if I had to send my Sonar somewhere, it would be Klein.
