Legend has it......
I'm trying to get much lower voltage...  
 
 
 
Legend has it that Ken Fischer ran his EL84s at 320V and 65mA.  
 
 
 
But, when they say 65mA, does that count for 2 tubes (out of 4). So, each tube would receive about 32.5mA?  
 
Does that sound right?  
 
 
 
I don't see how a single tube could dissapate almost 21 Watts (320*.065).  
 
 
 
Sounds like it should be more like 10.4 Watts (320*.0325).  
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks,
