RE: 2A3 Actuals

H Tre, can you please clarify/ confirm:

>>> While a 5k load will work at 42ma 250vdc, it's not optimum. <<<

I thought the increasing the load would lower distortion, considerably. I am guessing that by "optimum" you mean that more power can be achieved at clipping or similar?

I need about a Watt for my speakers in my room at my loud listening levels; would a 5k load be more ideal than ~4k?

Thanks Tre.
