Post Subject: Another decision that I need to make… I am in debates now.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/31/2007

Another decision that I need to make about the new Super Milq. I have MF and Fundamental Channels around the Vitavox S2 drivers that will be driven directly from the single-stage amplifiers, with the crossovers and attenuators sitting at amplifier line-level.  This lives the S2 driver too vulnerable. I care less about the stress during music playing - with the limited power of 6E5P it will be saved. I also do not care about the start-up current - it climes to the cruse current very gently. My concern is about the DC component. I am known to be very liberal with the way how I use amps: I plug the inputs with amp on and do some other violent actions. Should I be worry?

I have at 2 Vitavox channels ("D" and "E" channels at the image above) the attenuators that I might very much put after the channels’ output transformers before the driver. Since the channels are HF and since they care little power it will be no negative consequences to Sound but the S2 driver will have a minor layer of protection (attenuation). From another perspective the killing some grid currents in HF tubes will keep my low inductance HF output transformers further from LF saturation…. So, go figure what would be the most rational solution.….
