The important spec is the difference betwen the plate and cathode voltage, not from the plate to ground. Many designs use a cathode resistor to bias the tube which raises the voltage at the cathode. If the plate voltage was 2000V and the cathode was 1700V the tube would still only have 300V across it.
Why High Plate Voltage in 2A3 AMP?
Most of the designs I have seen, the plate voltage is about 300-320. However, I have seen few others that have plate voltage as high as 395.
This exceed the tube specification.
What is the pro/con of high plate voltage. My thinking is that it will kill the tube sooner.
