RE: Losses in Output Transformers

TK,

Remember when they did these numbers they are driving the tubes direct coupled and therefore overcome the slew rate current and the grid current draw that happens capacitor coupled.

I have used the MQ tapped choke and gotten real close to the numbers for 6V6's in my guitar amps without issue. The low dcr and direct drive I used made it real close.

Damping also has an effect even with feedback which by equations lowers the output but in this case rarely has an effect on overall power.

Thanks,
Gordon
