RE: 6L6gc is gaining everywhere.

Howdy! Good timing on this subject. Last week I tried to put in a pair of the New Genelex KT66 into a Plexi 50 (1987x) I built. After looking at schems and making a couple resistor changes 1K to 470 on G2 , I put them in and the current jumped to 96ma! Yikes! I couldn't get the draw down enough, so I just put it back the way it was, put in a NOS pair of RFT EL34's, biased it up to 39ma and called it a day. Sounds killer BTW.
I'm still confused here though after reading the posts on this topic. Sounds like I should have been able to insert, bias change and start playing. What did I miss? FL?
Thanks for all/any replies.
