Re: quad EL84 8kohm
I've never seen a 8K transformer rated for the current draw of four tubes. Find a transformer with 3.6K-4K primary if you're looking for 30W or more. It will have been designed for either a quad of EL84/6V6 or a pair of EL34.ansel mountain wrote: ↑Sat 12/26/20 9:33 amis it possible to use quad EL84 on a primary 8k transformer?

I'm pretty sure my imperial has an 6.6k OT and it's running 2 6V6's.

Re: quad EL84 8kohm
A pair of 6V6s cab be run on a 6K or 8K primary, it's not a big deal. A quad of tubes is a different story.
