Brad	Re: Why 60-70% max plate dissipation? Thanks Guys, I found everyones input helpful. I did go and read stuff at Randall Aikens website. Very enlightening, great info! I have at least a much better understanding than I did before. My DR is now set at 22Ma, 428V, 9.8 watts, 70% max plate dissipation. For now... I'll experiment with different settings in the future too but I'll leave it there for now because I think one of the power tubes is having a problem I want to get figured out first. I'm going to post a question on this but I thought it should go in the General forum cuz it's not about a Mod or tweak. So look for the question there... Thanks for the help Guys!
