Im an admitted B+ junkie. I modified an AL-80A power supply and output circuit for about 3.6 kV B+ under load and got about 800 W out (depending on the band). Cooling is a serious issue with the glas

I should have qualified my response: 1500 W is indeed possible out of a pair of 3-500Zs, but the cooling must be letter perfect: air sockets, proper chimneys and proper plenum pressure. I suppose you

My guess is that the hardware to withstand higher B+ Is hard to come by. That and anything beyond 4 kV goes off the charts, so no one can say for sure what the characteristics are when run beyond 4 k

Use CW to tune the amp for 4X the carrier power and you're good. The amp will be inefficient at carrier power, but will be properly loaded for thr peak power output and so "linear" with the cleanest

I'm simply gobstopped by stuff like this. Lessee: the WE 91B sooper-dooper amplifier runs about $16k for 20 W per channel at an astonishing 10% THD! Compare that to the Yamaha A-S501 at 85 W per chan

Well... Maybe. I've read that tube amps are "better" because when they're over driven, they don't clip as "hard" as solid state amps. After some thought, I've concluded that it's not an inherent char
