Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Yep, they are both diodes with forward voltage drop

Measure the current thought the tube plate load to calculate the operating point. The 1N4148 will have a forward voltage drop around 0.7v. If you wanted 1.5 volt bias you would need 2 in series.

People say that different LEDs sound different (in addition to having differences in the forward voltage drop) and they also sound different than diode rectifiers.
