Re: while I'm wishing...

"5 volt 845? or a 2.5 volt 845?" - nah. There are larger 300b-oids made already, ala 52B or KR520 or whatever they are (EML and Kron make those... 65w plate dissipation I think? )

really, there are a ton of unheralded larger DHTs out there from the old days, no sense wishing for bizzare stuff nowadays. No one can even really remake the old stuff even as-is with any sort of serious quality to threaten NOS (with a couple notable exceptions)...

"What I meant was an 845 sized filament in a 300B plate." - just wait for the 845 metal plate from Shuguang/SuperTNT. That will be a keeper if they get it right.

10v/10A is total overkill for anything 845 sized. the 849 (an awesome DHT designed for class A audio use, of which I have about 16 examples), had an 11v @ 5A filament (TT of course), metal plate, and dissipation of 400W. Good for about 100W of SET class-A1 power. Sort of a 212 on steroids.
