Re: Tamura OPT break in

"What value of the capacitor stands in your amplifier on a tube 300B?"

I use 22mf Ref Euro Oil as input cap -> 5H Tamura A-4005 choke -> two 22mf Ref Euro oil to supply 300B -> 68 Blackgate NH for 6SN7.

In this case, I believe that u suggest me to have BG WKZ instate of two 22mf Ref Euro for the socond B+ cap, right? What the value u think it is appropriate ?

Hmmm... there is one more problem, My power transformer is 400V-0-400V, so the voltage at the second B+ cap is around 480-490V. Do you think the WKZ 500V can stand that??? Coz my experience tell me not to use voltage exceed the 80% of WKZ.

PS. I have planty of Blackgate cap N, NH, WKZ, standard. But the WKZ I have right now is rate only 350V.
