Replace 6L6s with 6V6s?

9/19/2004 5:06 PM
Charlie	Replace 6L6s with 6V6s? This is probably a dumb question. But, given, the similarity of the pin outs, what are the issues with replacing 6L6s with the lower-power 6V6? I'm guessing you would have (at least): - power supply voltage - bias circuit - output impedence Maybe: - driver levels I have a SFBR I am wanting make into a SFDR head, IYKWIM. Has anyone done this kind of thing before? Curious, Charlie

Replace 6L6s with 6V6s?

This is probably a dumb question. But, given, the similarity of the pin outs, what are the issues with replacing 6L6s with the lower-power 6V6? I'm guessing you would have (at least):

- power supply voltage
- bias circuit
- output impedence

Maybe:
- driver levels

I have a SFBR I am wanting make into a SFDR head, IYKWIM. Has anyone done this kind of thing before?

Curious,
Charlie
