Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Re: Maybe not.

Poinz,

I'm with you. The 6V6 and its "equivalents" are more linear than other 12 W. types when wired as triodes. Harman/Kardon built PLENTY of units that used the 'V6 in pentode mode and they functioned well. The 'V6 and "equivalents" are GOOD HIFI tubes. 12 W. multi-grid power O/P tubes, as a class, are pretty darn special.

Unlike like its big brother, the EL34, the EL84's suppressor grid is hard wired to the cathode internally. So, "games" are not possible.
