Oops. Sorry I missed this part of the thread. The OPTs are Transendars.

As far as my hot rod amp, I should clarify that my amp is a prototype that Dennis used to absolutely push the envelope as to what a 6BQ5 tube will do. IIRC, this will do about 8 WPC, while even his new high output Fire Bottle amp will only put out six. I may up the cathode resistors a little just to add a little piece of mind because as one of the other poster noted, it's hard to enjoy the music when you always have an eye on the tubes....
