Steve A.	Re: Legend has it...... Mook: I tend to agree with you about that being 65mA per pair... But if you are going for the Trainwreck approach, why not go with cathode bias? (The example I listed was for fixed bias, not cathode bias.) We haven't heard from Bob S. (the Vox expert from Colorado) since this BBS went down but I seem to remember that he'd run his AC-30's around 300-320v, with the current in the mid to high 30's (for total dissipation of around 11 or 12 watts). I had been saving many of his posts to my download drive which got trashed. (Ouch!) Steve Ahola
