I rewatched the 6LU8 build looking for a round 2 project. I forgot that it was built as a power amp requiring a preamp.

In addition, I also have seen/heard of these compactrons being used in stand alone or integrated amps.

I looked up the specs for 6LU8 and the triode at 155v and biased at 2 volts is really no where near the sections max plate dissapation of 2.5 watts.

I suspect that one could use a different resistor froom teh plate of the pentode to the plate of the triode to drop the plate voltage to 250v instead of 155v. Any suggestions for values? I will attempt to calculate them, but a hint or two, or even do not do this!!! would be helpful. I would like to build it this way, looking for a little more power than the 6BM8.
