Funny it took 2.5 hours to build the San Audio Kit for 6E5P. The 6E5P is at 150V (a bit low for it but it is OK), loaded with 15K and coupled with 2A3 via a cap. The 6E5P is biased with one 3.6V lithium battery sitting in series with grid. I drooped the 2A3’s bias resistor to 150K and the rest it the basic San Audio Kit.
I was not wild with original San Audio Kit sound, I did not like when I redid is with better parts and I frankly not a hugely enthusiastic about the sounds of San Audio Kit with 6E5P driver. I can’t say anything certainly as I have no full-range speaker. Unit I have the MiniMe I decided to dump the 6E5Ped San Audio Kit on somebody else’s laps. I have a local guy with San Audio amp built by original circuit with two 6SN7 stages and I will give to him my amp to play. It might be very interning to hear how in this configuration the buttery-biased 6E5P will punch up against two 6SN7 stages. The two 6SN7 stages have 40 times gain, the single 6E5P has 30 times gain - really close and it might be a very interesting rivalry.
