Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: That could be because most of those are based on hefty sweep tubes.

The Chinese EL156 are a poor replacement for the Telefunken tube although somewhat cheaper.The filament current is 1.8 amps vs 1.4amps for the KT88s and the adapters are for changing the pinout and do nothing for the circuit.The bias point will be approx half of what the 88s need and the screen grid is rated for 450v max.The German Telefunken tubes are excellent the Chinese are less so.
