I'm scratching my head not sure what to say... Not to sound like a ...., ok can you show me where that is? I mean I would love to say I have a 10W amp.

Thanks for the informative discussion, guys. Regardless of who is right or wrong, I have to give the pwn to akoch for remaining diplomatic throughout the discussion. You took some punches, bro....and never flinched.

Shut up or I'll kill you Chad.

Akoch - Shawn had a typo, he meant a 40 watt output, or 10 watt drop. 20% output drop, would be close to 100 volts... which is what I guesstimated before putting the fluke meter on my VHT.

Also, put EL84 converters in your amp, Run Tube rectifier and Class A (cathode) bias. Won't quite be 10 watts but pretty close!
