Re: Type 45 etc

glenz, hi. I believe RCA published data that showed 1.6 W as max single tube Class A. Later additions may have bumped it up to 2 W - but who is going to quible about 0.4 Watts? Not me.

The so-called "45" that RAM labs is selling may deviate from the RCA specifications enough that it falls outside the parameters of what a Type 45 is. It should be called a "45-A" or something to make it clear it is Not a 45 but rather something akin to a 45 with higher dissipation. This cavalier attitude with specifications is just plain annoying.
