Heater Wires

[dobbhill]

Quick question: Is 22ga solid core large enough for heater wire in this amp? Thanks in advance.

Short answer - maybe... You should be ok using it for your preamp tubes, but's I'd use your transformers heater secondaries guage for the power tubes.

I don't think it is recommended except in the preamp. As cheap as wire is I wouldn't take the chance. I use 18 gauge.

Interesting and informative link, Doctor02; thanks. It looks like 22ga has half the current capability of 18ga: wow!
Thanks for the suggestions, Robert.
