Re: [AMRadio] 6V6 vs. 6L6
In audio circuits I have replaced 6v6 with 6l6 and they work. the 6l6 is capable of more plate watts than a 6v6 but to get the best advantage you need more plate voltage so I would use silicone diodes to replace the rectifier tube and get a little more B+. I would not want to replace a 6l6 with a 6v6 though of the circuit was designed for 6l6's. __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
Re: [AMRadio] 6V6 vs. 6L6
Are we talking just the metal tubes or the GT, GB, GC and G's? There is quite a difference in all of these. regards, Gary - Original Message - From: "K3PID" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 6:27 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 6V6 vs. 6L6 If you can believe my Rider Tube Caddy Substitution Guidbook, Yes!

RE: [AMRadio] 6V6 vs. 6L6
Not to beat a dead horse, but a 6v6 used for audio can be replaced by a 6L6. The 6L6 has a lower plate resistance so an output transformer for a pair of 6V6s will support a pair of 6L6s as the 6V6 plate resistance is about 10K per pair where the 6L6 is about 5K per pair. I have put 6L6s in many Fender guitar amps to replace the 6V6s until I could get new tubes. No problem at all. They do sound different however.

Re: [AMRadio] 6V6 vs. 6L6
They plug pin to pin into the same socket but what is your application? For starters the filament current is higher in the 6L6. At the same B+ voltage they can be driven to higher plate current also.

Well now... You can replace a 6V6 with a 6L6, but not the other way 'round, since the plate voltages are higher for 6L6's. Same basing, different plate dissipation and power output.

Re: [AMRadio] 6V6 vs. 6L6
Heck, even 6L6s aren't interchangeable. Here is a link to a fine dissertation on the various flavors of 6L6.
