Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Q re loads.

Maybe not the right place to put this, but am I right in thinking that Paul's rule of thumb formula suggests a lower load than suggested in the WE datasheet?

WE at 300V/0.062A and 740 plate resistance: 3000 Ohm load

Paul's calc for the same operating point (if I am calculating correctly!) suggests 2745 Ohm load. Not a great difference, but could be significant. Maybe WE intentionally selected a slightly lower power, lower distortion load?

Cheers,
