I was told to clean my messy mancave..and as you know stuff add up over years…. First round resulted in a new small se amp with SFR E130. This is Something Else. Yes I do not need the power or a new amp…but I can’t resist checking this one out.
I have not managed to find an audio amplifier buildt with rs337
Maybe there is a reason ?
Anyway initial thought is to connect it as pentode with shunt Feedback from plate to grid.
Does any of you have knowledge or experience with this tube?

Scroll down a little for datasheet

As max anode current is not given I would appreciate if anyone could share info about it.

With a 500V g2 rating I wouldn't expect too much from it in triode connection but I bet it could make a killer single ended pentode amp with the right output transformer and some form of local feedback.

Yes, and one can assume from the given max Va and max dissipation a Max Ia,
But that max Ia might be higher at lower Va…
Triode connection is not an option
Why throw away the benefits of the accelerating grid?

As a start for testing maybe 650V a-k, variable Vg2, 140ma anode current and 3kOhm:8 output transformer. Drivertube E282f pentodeconnected or c3m, unbypassed cathode resistor and regulated g2 supply
