"The 1625 makes a excellent audio tube in pentode operation. It is not recommended for use in ultralinear, as the screen voltage is limited to 300V. The plates can take 600V all day long."
Even the fragile screen grid can be dealt with, when UL mode is desired. Buy O/P transformers with separate screen grid windings. Yes, such "iron" is costly, but the performance obtained justifies the expense. The benefits of regulated g2 B+, when pentode mode is employed, are well known. The same benefits are obtained from a UL mode setup, when separate screen grid winding O/P transformers are employed.
