Title: Biasing for KT77's?
Post by: Homebelly on March 01, 2011, 06:13:04 AM
Any one running JJ KT77's?
Using the formula in the HRM manual in combination with my terrible maths i figure i should be biasing my HRM MKII to between 30-34mA.

Does that seem right?
The information i have on the KT77's say they have a plate dissipation of approximately 25 watts.

Cheers...

30-34 seems low to me. I'd suggest going up to at least 38-42mA. JJ's are overbuilt to withstand more current as well, which IMO causes more sterile tone at colder settings.
