The 6C33C-b is an attractive tube. This indirectly heated, high transconductance, high current capability and low internal resistance, inexpensive triode, from Russia, with a large 60W anode dissipation, originally designed as a voltage regulator for the avionics in Russian military aircraft, it is the ideal “high current” triode for audio applications. The downside? The 6C33C-B requires a relatively high anode current (typically 180-220mA at 180-210V) a high heater current ( 3,6 A with filaments connect…
