Is anyone aware of a current manufactured KT66 that only draws 900 mA of heater current, like the original Mullards? I have some QUAD amps in that need new
KT66s but all the current manufactured ones I look at draw 1.3 - 1.6 A of heater current and the owner is worried that the extra current draw will burn up his
PT. The ones I have looked at are Gold Lion, Shuguang, and Saratov which all draw too much heater current. I couldn't find the heater current data for
JJs, and the owner isn't keen on the Sovtek and TungSol RIs with the metal base ring.
The alternative of trying to get a good set of four NOS Mullards is too expensive to contemplate. I could put 6L6GCs or 5881s in but he will loose both power and tone, to say nothing of cosmetic appeal.
