Most of the lurkers here pay attention to what's getting said without

regarding what the "experienced guys" are up to. For sure most will
never
build an amp with a tube with handles. It takes considerably more
experience to keep 6KV tidy than it does 3KV.
Sorry if I'm dragging things too far OT, but, speaking of HV and
keeping things
tidy, I'm wondering what knowledgeable folks think about X-ray
exposure...
i.e. at what voltage range do things start to get interesting? I once
saw someone
comment on a homebrew amp that was for sale, running ~5kV as I recall,
and
the poster seemed quite alarmed.
Obviously, the B+ is the biggest concern, but, then again, there's
instant notification
when you screw up THERE (some say that Jesus lives in the B+ supply,
and you
can meet him there).
Thanks for any input.
