[QUOTE="handsome, post: 39530, member: 772"] I cannot recall the exact figures i think it was 14V on the cathode resistors which equalled 35mA. the B+ is not 460V, my mistake I think that is what it rises to before the tubes heat up (SS rectifiers). it is higher than 330V which is why used el84m. the tubes are sovtek el84Ms. i got four 6pi14s from mr valve years ago put them in last week and one of them has a white hot spot on either a screen or the heater, hence me orderign more from overseas. they did sound very good though. the sovteks appear to be similar.
