- Some time ago a guy told me he was substituting the 4-400A tube in his Swan Mark 1 amplifier instead of using the 3-400Z tube. He had a large supply of the 4-400A tubes on hand and said they were wor

- If the tube sockets are wired correctly (and I think they are in this case) you should just be able to plug in the 4-400-s and GO! They will take more drive than the 3-400's required but will work gr
