Re: 6P16P Amplifier

The Russian 6p14p is an electrical equivalent of the 6BQ5/EL84 and it is not particularly good sounding. OTOH, the Russian 6p14p-ev/EL84M is an electrical equivalent of the 7189 and it's quite decent sounding. JJ EL84s are another good sounding option.

Wade thru the "El Cheapo" project thread. The 12AT7 differential splitter/driver is used there. The 'BQ5 is easier to drive than the 'AQ5 used in "El Cheapo"; so, you have plenty of gain.
