Hi again.
After having some nasty experiences (but lucky I was, so with no bad damage) while biasing my amp, I decided to get something like the Biasrite, which seems to turn the whole process into something really safe and idiot proof (I’m one of those). The only thing is that I don’t know how much the shipping from USA will be… anyone there having bought one already? tried to ask them, but no answer.here is THE QUESTION:
I read around that for calculating the bias-idle dissipation, you can use these tables in which you put some data and give you the ideal value.
my doubt is whether in the field
“Output Tube Power Rating (in watts)”
I should put the rating of my 6L6s, which is 30 watts, or use as reference the output transformer rating, which seems to be 40 watts (divided for 2 tubes, makes 20 watts each).
what do you think?
thanks for help!
