It is indirect heated beam tetrode – why would it be any different from the whole family of beam tetrodes?  From my perspective it might be interesting for ULF DSET solution as it has a lot of power but I do not think your German people use it for DSET configuration. You know my answer to it: instead of rising power in full-band amplification I tend to advocate raising sensitivity of loudspeakers. "I wish I could score everything for horns." - Richard Wagner.

I remember doing some intellectual excersise/pspice sims of a DC coupled GU81M. Much more serious tube and IIRC on the sims it looked promising. Search the site and contact me if you'd like to try the design (i'd need +/- 200yrs to get to it Cheers, Jarek STACORE
