Hi Dima,Thanks for your comments; please forgive the chaos of what follows as I have to rush! Agreed on all counts - the dc bias point would need adjustment and monitoring; I supposse it depends on how stable the electricity is from the wall; anothe...

[quote user="hagtech"] I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA.  I don't think you need to run this tube at high current.  It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. [/quote] Good operation points for use it as a driver. You might...

[quote user="N-set"]BTW, how stable 6E5P is? I'm asking as I was contemplating biasing the output by the voltage drop on 6E5P's plate choke (DCR is say around 1k),with only some minimal autobias on the output. The drawback is that any drift in th...
