Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Hi B+ on Morrison Micro (moved from Tube DIY Asylum)

If memory serves me right, when I built this in the 90s I measured anywhere from 18>20 watts plate dissipation from my Chinese and RCA bi-plate 2A3s. Plate dissipation = plate voltage (B+ - cathode voltage) x plate current (cathode voltage/2500 ohms). So if you're within that range then you've come close to the original design.

FWIW, I revisited the circuit topology using a paralleled 6C8G input driver and chose a more conservative operating point for the 2A3. I still like the sound very much!
