| jbrew73 | eh 6v6's i ran a set of eh 6v6's at 19 watts each for about 3 hours last night. i forgot i had a 150 ohm cathode resistor in the amp. 17.5 volts across 150 ohms is .058ma per tube times 330 volts at the plates is 19 watts. those tubes must have taken a beating. i thought about what i had done so i checked them tonite to see where they were running and got the results above with no red plating seen. do you think i hurt the tubes? |

No problems I would say you broke them in nicely. |

| bob p | no, i don't think you hurt 'em. its nice to hear stories of the EV 6V6 as being robust, especially when it seems so in vogue on some of the boards to bash them as unreliable. |
