Hi Raymond,

You state:

"Why do folks feel the only acceptable O.P. for the 45 is 35mA, 275V and a 5k load? Oh, maximum power."

I am surely not one of those folks. That is 9.65 Watts dissipation of the plate. In 2010, I would shoot for about 7 Watts dissipation, maybe 250 VDC P-K and 0.028 A.

My interest is not in just what works, but what works and likely sounds the best, on a long term basis, and there are usually not muliple optimums.

You state:

"It is your assumptions and rationale I do not accept. Though I do prefer to question..."

We all have a right to accept or not. That is totally fine with me. As to you questioning ....it is difficult for me to get into a serious conversation, after reading the quote you selected!
