6EM7 what are they good for.....
« on: November 05, 2021, 03:49:54 am »
Hi guys, Got a bunch of these...
Can they be used in a low watt push pull?
Maybe something like Robs micro Bassman.
Thanks

My thought is probably not since the tube is comprised of a hi mu and low mu unit in the same envelope.  https://frank.pocnet.net/sheets/049/6/6EM7.pdf


Guess you could use two of the tubes though for a low watt push-pull amp .
