Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Tubes

I know (and agree) what you are saying that Watts is Watts and these things have a plate volt rating of around 700 volts. However, if there is mis-alignment or other tube issues, they can arch quite readily with a big instrument signal at high levels when asked to handle big voltage. For me, the problem with pushing the upper limits on voltage has been arching rather than plate meltdown.
