Max dissp of EH 6sn7

Cassiel · 31st January 2008, 11:26 AM

Hi,

Does anyone know the max. dissipation of the new Electro Harmonix 6sn7?

Can't find the data sheet.

Thanks.

It would be the same as any 6SN7.

so that would be 2,5 Watt per section.

Same as 6sn7 GTB? That would be 5 Watts then.

Would a 6SN7 work as a small output tube?

Sure - some tape recorders used a 6SN7 in class B for audio output. Bu there are better choices when you can no longer buy them surplus for 25 cents...

Ah yes, I see what you mean now. Is it a normal 6SN7 or is it a GTA/B. (completely forgot about the differences between them)

According to triodeelectronics it's a copy of a GTB.

Thanks Bas, that was helpful.

Hi Bigwill, sure will do. Class A you can get almost 1 Watt. More than enough for office or small room with 94 dB speakers.

I have one in my office for some time...6sn7 driving 6sn7-Sakuma style.

I am torturing GE 6sn7 GTB's...about 7.5Watts plus 1.5W in the driver section. According to data sheets it's 7.5W maximun for both triodes but this tube can take the abuse with no problems .
