Hello all my crazy D.I.Y. friends. Hope all are well.

Bought a bunch of EL803s ( including some crazy good Telefunken ) when I mistakenly thought they were SV83 drop-ins They of course aren't, so now what to do.
Been trying to find triode curves for that tube to no avail, and then I lucked into this site :https://www.vtadiy.com/loadline-calculators/loadline-calculator/

The Motherlode. What a site for us crazies.

So now it looks like the EL803s would make a phenomenal spud amp, and I'll be getting to work. Since I only do headphones now, it will have plenty of power.

For those of you who might want to look at the curves, it will be the EL803 triode  strapped into a 5K reactive load. A really linear tube.

Haven't slung any solder in a long time. Should be fun.

Cheers,             Crazy Bill
