Make a great driver tube with a Mu of 30?
Got a mess of them, both Hytron ST and Taylor Globes.
Never found a use for them but, if they are quiet (big if on the globes) they'd be a great driver for an 845, or at least that was my thought at one time.
Follow Ups:
I used the Taylor globes to drive my 845/211 amp. It was in the same room as Josh's GM100 Monster during one of the shows.
I remember that amp. Built on a recycled chassis from something, right? It sounded good. I had some VT-51, and some 842 for a while. Never got around to building with them, sold most of them to Thomas Mayer. Still have a few I think.
When I first met Josh, that chassis housed his 26 preamp. Then the 801 preamp, which eventually ended up going to you, in a much better chassis if I remember right.
Isn't the plate resistance kind of high?

but then so is a 6SL7 and some folks use them to drive SET output tubes as well. :-)
But is IS a triode and it IS directly heated.
But I do wish I had a bunch of 842s instead.
Hi,
The Jim Dowdy MQ plate chokes were designed to work well with 841's as drivers.. He posted about them before in the past..
I reckon they're worth looking into.
Sure, you'll get high frequency roll-off... some folks think that is not so bad. Suck it and see.
