Thanks for your kind attention to my problem,.... Now !! I have homebrewed  
exciter with 1 watt output using 6CL6 to drive my current linear amp using 
pair of 6146B, but in future I want to replace this current liner amp to a 
single 4-400A amplifier, and I have prepared power supply for this porpose 
with 2500 volt and 0.6A output. I have think, this is not suffience to drive 
4-400A with grounded grid configuration. So what the best thing should I do 
with my 4-400A and my current exciter with only 1 watt output ?, should it 
be increased ??....
