Is 400 volts correct? That seems low for  
a 50 watt amp.... My RCA Tube Manual shows  
40 watts from 2 el34's at 450 volts.... is  
there something I'm not understanding here?  
Is the 50 watt rating sine wave rms, or is that  
square wave (i.e. totally clipped?)...  
is there something about this circuit that gives more power?  
 
(questions questions!)
