RE: gm of DHTs

hey-Hey!!!,
Type HY51B has gm of 6.5 mA/V...and a plate resistance of ~4k once current is flowing. That sort of characteristic makes it a bit of a challenge. I'd consider type 2A3 if I wanted to build a DH triode cascode. The IDH valves are indeed easier to use, with gm in the 8-20 mA/V range and plate Z low enough to allow low Ec2 voltages( the upper grid/gate voltage ).
cheers,
Douglas

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
