- Hello! I have an amplifier with 2x 4-400 which has a really big power supply and a very rugged design. The only thing I am missing is the appropriate output power. This lead to the idea to replace th

- Werner, If I were you I would either add a screen supply to those tetrodes to get the transconductance back again, or (since you said the 4-400s were running with grounded grids), try just plugging i

- ** The 4-400A and the 3-500Z use the same 5V/14.5A cathode and have the same peak-emission (c. 1.3A) , thus, the output Z of a 4-400A and a 3-500Z are pretty much the same if the anode supply potent

- Rich, He's running the 4-400's grounded grid, so the peak emission would not be the same without a MUCH higher cathode drive level, and then only if that maximum cathode emission you refer to could a

- ^I don't know where you got your peak emission numbers from, but the characteristic curves published by Eimac for both tubes show Ip as high as 2.2 amperes. ^ The only difference is that the 4-400A n
