Re: Max plate current, Voltage Drop

Hey Jim, wouldn't you calculate the dissipation as the drop across the tube times the current? The 6cj3 (from memory) drops about 15 volts at full load, so a tube passing 100 ma is dissipating 1.5 watts, a pair can handle a pretty heavy load. You are correct regarding the need for separate heater winding, mainly due to noise coupling issues.
