Thanks for the answer. I.m pretty much aware by You recommendation but       this is what I have on my shelves. A kt120 matched quad, a hefty power       transformer able to provide B+ 600v/1.5A and a Hammond 1650R 5k Ra-a. And I       wonder if such of load is able        to provide decent results for a push pull project with 4xKt120 in triode mode       please. Thanks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
