Using TungSol 5881's in a MOD50/100?

[bduersch]

Anybody here using TungSol 5881's in a MOD100? Was wondering if they were considered "safe", since there's a disclaimer on the Tube Store's site saying that they shouldn't be used in amps with a plate voltage greater than 400v. Not knowing what the MOD100's plate voltage is, didn't know if I'd blow the tubes up.

Thanks,

I've used them many times over the years in my Mod 100. Never had a problem. I"ve blown multiple EL34's but never a TS5881.

They should definitely be safe . . . from the Egnater MOD100 manual:

RECOMMENDED BIAS SETTINGS
6L6/5881..................25mV to 35mV
EL34/6CA7.................32mV to 40mV
E34L......................35mV to 42mV
6550......................35mV to 45mV
6V6 (JJ ONLY !!!!!!!).....18mV to 22mV
