AudiodysseyWhat I do is get a tube with the same current draw
as the whole circuit and use it as a dummy load.
In your case a 6L6 or a 5687 filament draws 900mA.
A 6SN7 will get you close too at 800mA.
Unloaded voltage means NOTHING !!!
Too many variables to consider.
Load the PS and then we can work from there.DanL
