[AMPS] AL1500

[alex]

Hmmmm...

That does not seem to answer my friends question ...

However, the parasitic oscillations should be taken care by the grid current
measuring system that will shut down the amp if excessive grid current will
flow ( I did some homework, as you see) ... This should protect the tube
and tell you that something is wrong with the unit. Operating it further
under this conditions are not advisable.

As I said, my friend needed some other info than looking at your site :)
