Best 6V6G that won't get me divorced.. - Page 2

Yep, I've begged for forgiveness more frequently than I'd like to admit. My usual spiel is usually something like, "Honest... I ran out of caps... I- I had a flat line on my 'scope... I didn't have enough money at Radio Shaft... My back order didn't come back from Mouser... An old resistor changed value... Someone stole my DVM... There was an earthquake... A terrible flood... LOCUSTS!!!! IT WASN'T MY FAULT - I SWEAR!!!!"

I like the 7 plagues angle. I might just try that.

I just use the excuse, that if the heat ever goes out

, we have a stock of space heaters and tunes to help pass the time....

I just couldn't resist butchering a Jake Blues line!

No suggestions for tubes, but in the tone of the other excuse-mongers, we now run a fair value trade system - she buys shoes, I buy tubes and transformers.

I'll take your word for it. I get neither -- just a grudge, and the parts.

I consider this 'conditioning" her.

I feel your pain. How many pairs of shoes does she have that she doesn't wear? Mine has plenty of NOS shoes.

The 6L6 takes more heater current. You need to see if your power transformer will handle the load. Other than that, you need to account for the fact that it will need a bit different bias voltage, but you can run them pretty much like your 6V6 and get about the same power out. I imagine that they saturate at about the same voltage. I am assuming you are running them as pentodes?

What conditions are you running at? If we know, we can give better advice.

I use the 6V6 Marconi tubes in my AudioNote amplifier. They sound very good and I'm happy I bought them.
