Yes. Very true but I' had it where the tubes will flashover at
1900/2000V, so by changing the HV output wires on amps like the
AL-80B and TL-922, you can easily get to around 1000V to start the
cooking process as per Tom's article. If the tubes flash at that
voltage, they become desk ornaments.

He can also just use the low 1900 vdc CW position, apply a
bit of drive, and tune the amp a bit off resonance.? ?That will
get the tubes good and red.?
A good Eimac 3-500Z? will? hi-pot? 16 kv? (between anode and
grid)..... and 5 kv? (between grid and cathode).?
Chinese? 3-500Z's? ?will hi pot 9-15 kv? from anode to
grid.....and only 1 kv between grid and cathode.?
