you also have to change the transformer. stock, the tubes use about 1800 volts. you need to increase the voltage to about 3000 volts when using the 572b's. from what ive heard, it will do more than 1K with the mod. matt |

You dont have to change the transformer unless you want to increase power. They can be used as a "Heavy Duty" drop in replacement on most 811 type tube amps. (some amps like the old collins and a few others need a little more cutoff bias to keep them from oscillating) |

P.S. if you check out different amp manufacturers you will find that they only use 2200-2500v on the plate. Tube ref in the old arrl handbooks only recomend 2500V@200ma per tube |
