First... Merry Christmas, or Happy Holiday.
With 350 Vp and the screens at 335 using a cathode bias, how hot can I safely bias my el84s? I know the rules (75% yada, yada) and max diss and all. But how hot can I REALLY bias them?
I ask because I'm trying to kill crossover distortion. I am driving the piss out of the tubes and I am using the zener trick already. I don't want to run fixed bias if I can help it.
I don't need to squash the crossover distortion completely. In fact I think a really miniscule amount is OK. But I do want to try reducing it a little more.
Any ideas?
TIA
