Post Subject: Still, with all native beauty of 7788…..Posted by Romy the Cat on: 11/5/2007
… I do not consider it as an interesting driver and I have a good feeling that you will review your desire to drive 2A3 with 7788. 7788 is phenomenal for different application (ultra low noise + ultra high Mu) not for driving power triodes. Jim, if you looking for a driver, why don’t not you try my 6E5P. This tube is truly super driver, with phenomenal sound and with ability to throw some sonic tricks that the 5687-class drivers could only dream about. It is 35 times gain, with 8-9 watt on plate... and it is in 9-pin body. This driver alone can easy to drive 6C33C, 845, 211, GM70…. You have over -4V bias and you can get over 100V AC juts from one driver. The 6E5P sound is capable at the same time to express that large “elephant” brutal attitude of GM70 and the delicacy and sophistication of 2A3. It is truly amassing tube and what is very important - thankfully to me it is extremely cheap to buy anywhere. Try it and you might enthusiasticly loose your virginity about the drivers…
