I posted this over in the 'Modern Amps' forum...maybe this is the appropriate place for this question.
When using the transformer shunt method of reading current draw, should I divide the reading by 3 to account for the 3 pwoer tubes per side on the primary of the OT? This seems logical since when reading 4 power tubes, you need to divide by two to arrive at the actual current draw per tube.
Why am I reading current draw??? I am curious and like to know how the amp is actually running. Who knows when a resistor is going to change parameters? I have never been a plug in some new tubes and go guy....comfortably, at least.
