Effects of Voltage and Feedback on Plate Load

1/5/2000 6:52 PM
Mitch	Effects of Voltage and Feedback on Plate Load Let's use a single-ended 6L6 tube for an example. What effect will raising the plate voltage have on the plate load the 6L6 wants to see. From the spec sheets I've seen, it seems like the tube wants to see a higher load as the plate voltage increases. Is this right? Also, what effect does running the tube with or without feedback have on the plate load the tube wants to see? What about UL operation? Thanks in advance for your help.
