If the 20A is running them too hot then I'd check out the circuit for something causing excessive current drain. I used a 20A decades ago and never had that problem. Carl KM1H Reply by Jim WD5JKO: Carl decades ago the line voltage was closer to 110-115 vac whereas now it is closer to 125 vac. A stock 20a plugged into todays AC mains will literally "cook" the tubes. Sure a variac is the right choice here, but the poor 6u8A is still the weak link. The 6MU8 is just a beefier alternative.
